Mr. Harris was thanked for his report, which was adopted.

Juvenile Section. Mr, C. H. Hargreaves, who reported on the juvenile section, stated that he intended to cut out. some if the existing classes and add others, but the amount of prize money would be the same. —It was resolved to ask Mr Hargreaves to draw up a complete programme, the prizes not to exceed the money allotted for the same. The president said he could sec no reason to alter the existing classes in the hacks and hunters section, with the exception of the addition of a class suggested by Mr. Hargreaves as follows ; —Best team of three horses, open to any rider to be put over jumps 3ft. 6in.. Once round the ring. The report was adopted. The next meeting of the committee was tlxed for Friday, October 2 1. PILES CURED.
