POPULAR RACING CLUB OFFICIALS.
There are few figures better known in New Zealand racing circles than those presented in our well-executed group of Racing Club officials on this page. The burly form of Mr J. O. Evett will ba quickly recognised as a faithful likeness. In performing the handicapping duties for the Auckland Racing Club, Hawke’s Bay jockey Club, Wellington Racing Club, and other kindred institutions, this gentleman has justly earned for himself the proud distinction of the
‘Admiral Rous of the North Island.’ Mr F. B. Luckie, the genial secretary of the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club, likewise has made himself popular among all classes through his business tact and genial disposition, and the same can be said of Mr Wm. Percival (secretary of the Auckland Racing Club), and Mr H. M. Lyon (secretary of the Wellington Racing Club).
