The annual report stated that the Club had run four open events during the season, all of which had been well contested. Satisfactory entries had been received for all events, and one race had attracted 29 starters which was most gratifying. In connection with entries, thanks were due to Mr E. B. Taylor, for his work at Temuka. The committee w r as to be congratulated on the way the races had been run, special reference being made to the assistance given by Mr D. Edgar, who had now left the district. The balance-sheet disclosed a satisfactory position, there being a credit of £2 8s lOd. Owing to the Club’s inability to raise funds only £ls 3s 6d had been paid out in prize money compared with £4O the previous year. Thanks were due to the handicappers, especially to Mr G. V.
