TROTTING
POSTPONED AGAIN TRACK A QUAGMIRE (Per Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, June b. The Canterbury Park Trotting Club's meeting has been further postponed till next Saturday as the track is still unfit from the topdressing applied. The track has improved but heavy rain early last night reduced it to a quagmire this morning. The weather was perfect this morning, but racing was out ot the question. The postponement, the second in a fortnight, has caused much disappointment. A special train from irom Greymouth arrived this morning, carrying a hundred people, tired but full of expectations of an enjoyable day’s sport. Fine conditions greeted them. Then came a bomb- | shell. When they inquired where the | race train might be found, an inspector informed them that the trots had again been postponed. Unfortunately for the Canterbury (Park Club, the New Brighton Club has been making improvements to its course, thus blocking one avenue through which an escape might easily have been made.
