K.Z. TROTTING ASSOCIATION.
(Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 4. At a meeting of the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association today, when the question of passing programmes was und%r consideration, Mr. Kitchinghani said he thought it was time racing clubs were compelled to raise stakes for coming events in view of the large entries they received and the amount .of totallsator investments. On his motion, it was decided that the minimum stakes in trotting events at • racing clubs’ meeting should be .£‘6s. The President (Mr. P. Selig) said that The committee appointed to deal with the question of obtaining extra totalisator permits had taken certain action, and it was probable that further action yrould be taken next month. It was agreed to send a permit to the Conference for a new rule providing for uniformity in starting horses by the yards system, also to recommend that a rule be framed making it compulsory for riders and drivers to report to stipendiary stewards any breakage of gear during a race.
