PONY RACING.

COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. SYDNEY. October 26. The select committee recently appointed and the placing of the sport on a non* proprietary basis, has commenced its sittings. The secretary of the Pony Owners ami Trainers' Association gave evidence that 90 per cent, of the members of Hhe association were hard up. and depending upon one another for help. The association's objections to proprietary clubs was that they gave very little prize money, while prize money was not sufficient, and owners were therefore compelled to bet or go bankrupt. They ran the horses and the clubs got the money. The paucity of prize® was an incentive to evil practices. At, the same time he claimed that pony racing was as clean as any other sport-. There had been a big falling ofiF in patronage. but there were still over 1900 ponies
