TAKAPUNA JOCKEY CLUB COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS NO ELECTION REQUIRED Nominations to fill the vacancies on the committee of the Takapuna Jockey Club caused by the retirement of Messrs. IV. J. Ralph, J.

This will do away with the necessity of an election, and Messrs. Ralph, Mays, and Heslop will be duly declared elected. The fact that no opposition was offered shows the confidence of the members of the club in the management.
