WELLINGTON SUMMER MEETING.

At a meeting of the stewards of the Wellington Racing Club this morning a letter was received from the Postmaster explaining that through a mistake of one of his clerks a number of letters received on Thursday and Friday last addressed to the secretary of the Club had been re-directed to Dunedin, but were now on the way back. The stewards resolved - '' That all nominations bearing Welling ton postmark of January 6, before nine p.m., which were accidentally sent by the post office officials to Dunedin, slvill under the above circumstances be taken as having been received in due time in accordance with the published pro gramme." The weights will now be declared on Thursday nest instead of Wednesday.

DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB.

Dusedin, 'January 9. At the annual meeting of 'he D.J.0., the chairman in referring to the loss made during the year, said it was partly due to the bad weather and partly to less mosey being spent by the public, bub principally to the walking totalisirtor. Steps would have to be taken to put; a stop to the latter, as »hey had the power in their hands. Some members said that it would be better to have the totalisator abolished than to have it wrecked in such a manner. The report was adopted and the retiring officers re-elected. It was resolved that negotiations be opened with the owners of Forbury Park Racecourse, with a view of securing the course at a reasonable price, £28,000 being considered too much; failing which steps should be taken to secure a suitable course in another locality near the city.
