I Trophy has been postponed until Thursday and Saturday, August 14 and 16. The Taranaki Rife Association is to be revived and the meeting will tako place on days to bo fixed as near the usual time as possible. The meetings v ere held during the first week in February. but a change in the date of the racing fixtures makes tho Taranaki Jockey Club’s autumn meeting fall on these particular days, but the difficulty is not insuperable. To obtain trained markers will be more difficult for no less than five who used to carry out tho marker’s duties at the meetings have made the supremo sacrifice during the war. , _ . When Sergt. LoVoday, lying’s Prize man, converted at the meeting in 1914, ho expressed himself as surprised and pleased with the way the meeting was carried out and tho equipment of the ranfe. He should see the latter just now"; everything has been allowed to fall into disrepair, and although renovations arc to be made the Depaitincnt moves with glacial slowness.
