A FUTILE CONFERENCE . (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. A cchferenee was held this afternoon under the chairmanship of Mr i°. Ilisiop, and under flic provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, between the executive of the N.Z. Jockeys’ Association (represented by Messrs Sheath, Davies, and Ra.e) and tlie racehorse owners of New Zealand (represented by Sir George Clifford, Mr J. McLeod, and Mr R. Hannan). No agreement was arrived at, the racehorse owners claiming that the Association did not- represent the jockeys of New Zealand, ‘and that; even if they did so, it would' be impossible, in the interests' of the owners, trainers, jock-j----oys,, and the’ public, to submit to the dictation of any. one section of racing interests, especially when organised by. outsiders. The owners, however*, expressed their willingness to receive suggestions on all matters connected with racing from individual jockeys or others collected with the sport, stating that this course had already been taken in respect to ' proposed legislation bv the" forthcoming meeting of the N.Z. Racing .Conference.
