POVERTY BAY TROTTING CLUB.

ANNUAL MEETING. The Poverty Bay Trotting Club held their second annual meeting at the Park Racecourse on Thursday last, fine weather prevailing for the fixture, which was liberally patronised. The advance the club has made since its last gathering was noticeable by the class of horses engaged in the various events, and some excellent racing was witnessed. The secretary, Mr. P. G. Andrew, and the other officials worked hard to ensue the success of the gathering, and with such keen enthusiasts at the head of affairs the future prospects of the club are indeed bright.
