TINWALD RACING CLUB.

Annual Meeting,

The annual meeting of members of the TinW&ld Racing Ciub was held on Tuesday evening last in lagan's Hotel, when there was a good attendance of members, and Mr B> Gates occupied the chair. The Chairman, in hia opening remarks, spoke of the advancement of the Club, and he thought the time was at hand when an improvement should be made on the grand stand. He then asked the secretary to read the Committee's report and balance sheet, committee's bepobt. j 16 is again the pleasing duty of your Committee to congratulate the members of ■ the Club upon the results of last season's work. A most enjoyable meeting was held on New Year's Day, the weather being beautifully fine, and the racing furnished a good day's sport-. The financial result of the meeting was unique in the history of the Club, in being from every source of the receipts, a record one. In August last the Committee decided to increase the stakes in the minor races, and the programme sub mitted with this accession proved to be more popular with owners, and may perhaps to a Lrge extent be the cauae of Becuring an increase in the nominations, and the general success of the meeting. As may be seen by a perusal of the balance sheet the receipts amounted to £555 16s, being an excess over Jast year's takings of about £87, The expenditure for the year endiug June 16 ■hows £403 18a 3d, against £367 10s 2d last year, thus enabling the Treasurer to plare at fixed deposit another £70, which increases the deposit account to £297 14s Id, which, with a credit of £20 Is 3d in the current account, leaves the Club with a cash ba'ance of £317 15s 4d, In view of the accident which occurred on New Year's Day, your Committee strongly recommend that the railing alongside the course at the north-east end of the saddling paddock be extended round the first cuive, and another entrance be made for horses on to the course. The delegates elected by the country clubs to represent their interests are Meoara H. Friedlander and Guinness, and it is expected that your proposals^will receive due repre sentation in theic hands. In conclusion, the Committee trust that in the future the Club will still maintain its progressive position, and be ever forward in the interests of genuine sport. The balance aheet and auditor's report favourably commented upon the way in which the the Club's books were kept, and congratulated the Oiub on its financial position, The Chairman moved the adoption of the report and balance sheet-,, and stated that Mr Stone had drcided not to stand for the Eosition of treasurer, owing to the distance c resided f/om Tinwald. He spoke in flattering terms of the manner in which Mr Stone had attended to the dub's financial position. Mr Stone seconded the adop'ion of the report and balance sheet. He said he could not say he was in favour of spending all their money in improving the ground. It had ta|ten them some years to attain their i present position, and he was of opinion that jt was rather premature to incur suph a large expense as the improvements spoken of by the Chairman. Although he would npt stand for $he office of treasurer he would take an active interest in the welfare of the Olub. The report and balance sheet was unani mously adopted. ELECTION OF OFFICEKS. The election of officers resulted an follows : —President—G. A. M Buckley Ksq. ; Vice-presidents—Messrs D. McLean, JB. Gates, and C. F. Todhuntor; Judge—Mr E. G Crisp j Treasurer^Mr M. Lagan ; Clerk of Scales—Mr R. Friedlander ; Com mittee—Measrs Stephens, James Hampton, G. James, C. Doheity, J. Dixon, E. Gates, J. Heseltine, J. M. Hampton, Bell, Stone. Stewards—Messrs J. Clark, J. M. Hampton, E. Gates, G. James, C. Doherty, R. M. Cuthbertson, T. Stone, J. Stephens, Dixon; Purchase, and Dr Leahy. \ It was resolved to give a donation of £5 5s to the widow of the late Mr E. Price The Secretary was voted a bonus of £7 7s in addition to his salary, for his services, sa<J a recommendation to the Committee was pkssed that"* fijedsum be giye'ri to the jsepretary, Mr Stone was unanimously elected an honorary life member of the Club for his valuable services in the past. Totes of thanks were passed to the clerk of the scales, clerk of course, judge, and outgoing committee. A fWO DATS MEETING. Dr Leahy, as a suggestion, would like to see the Committee take into consideration teQ advi«ablen.ess of holding a two days Rieeting. The CJlub- had grown to tb&t importance that he did not think itprema'ure for the Committee to' consider the matter. £[c thought it would be 'considering the interests' ef owners, and giye them more facilities for payjng e^ppnses through bring lpg Tjorses from a 'distance^ besides tendiffg to increase the importance and trade of the town. He merely threw out the suggestion for the Committee to discuss, and he was sure whatever the Committee decided upon would be satisfactory to ail. Several mem bers spoke in favor of the doctor's sugges tion. After the annual meeting several good songs were sung by members, and healths yyejre drank, cos^luciDg a |ftost harmonious ind'enthusiaatic'Meeting. At a subsequent meeting of the Com mittee, Mr E. Gates was unanimously re-eleoted Chairman of the Club.
