The weather was fine, but chilly for the annual meeting of the Winslow %ort,e and Race?, which were postponed from May 2^, on account of the inclemency of the weather The attendance was not large (as owing to the disappointment of last Wednesday the holiday visitors could not attend)'but those who attends were awarded with a good day's amußemeut, both in horse racing and athletic events, as most of the finishes were very exoiting. The number of oaah fielders on the ground somewhat enlivened the proceedings, as their voices ooald be heard far and near, as they were laying the odds, and iv moat cases during the day an out sider won. Mr Cussack, of the Winalow Hotel, hid charge of of the booths on the ground, and it mast be said that he attended to the public's wants with every satisfaction. The officers of the Club, one and all, worked well to make the gathering a success, and a word of praise is due to the secretary, Mr A. A. Fooks, for the way in which he carried onb his duties, and his obliging manner to competitors, Press, and public generally were much Appreciated, and would be an example for secretaries of muoh larger clubs to follow. Mr D. Thorn »c gave every satisfaction as starter of tshe horse events, and Mr R. J. Henry's starting in the athletic events was all that) oonld be desired. Mr Harris made an efficient time-keeper, while Mr E. G. Or lip had a task sob him to place the horses in their events.

COURSING.

The meeting adjourned from Mr Cameron's on the 24th ult., was concluded as tar aa waa practicable on the Lagmhor, Estate yea ! terday, Mr Buckley having kindly given the | Aahburton Club the use of some of his pad j docks. The coursing began at about 11 a.m. near the crossing of the old 'I"n,\ rti track and the Mount Somers line, Haies, how ever, were very scarce, and the question waa raised whether in view of the rapid decrease in the number of hares throughout the oounty, a close season should not be asked for. As it ia, there seams a. prospect of hares, and with them sport, becoming exfcinot in thia neighbourhood is a few years. Some of the coursing was first-class, notably the trial between Elastic and Saxon, which was worth going a long way to Bee. The former led up by aco p-e of lengths and thereafter ensued a few r>pid excha> gea, leaving the brindle a point or two to the good. Then Saxon pufcin some of the most brilliant work seen here for a long time, and eventually left off, after a gruelling course, a winner with a lot to spare. The course between Young Smoker and Rangipubi was a great smaller, ail run in full view of the spectators, So, too, was that between Wild fire andlxion, which must have been a very close thing, both doga scoring well. The other courses do nob o*ll for much notice. Id may be mentioned that Mr Buckley treated the party with the greatest hospital ity, sending a Tunoh out to the ground, and needless to say it was thoroughly appre i ciated. Mr Milner (on a cob kindly lent by Mr Buckley) again officiated as judge, and Mr T. Alexander as slipper. The following are the results, including the courses run at Mr Cameron's on Queen's Birthday:— Birthday Stakes, for all-agrd dogs, at £1 each. First dog, £5 ; runner up, £2.

YOUNG MEN'S CLUB.

A meeting, very largely attended, of young men belonging to the town and district, was held in the Orange Hall last night, under the presidency of the Mayor, who, in opening the meeting, stated that the object of it was to form if possible a Club for young men that would provide them with healthy nvntal and physical recreation, and promote intel lectual and social intercourse. The subject had been fully treated in a leading article in the Guardian, so that doubtless hia hearers had full knowledge of whet the promoters had in view. Ho had been asked to preside that evening, which he did gladly, because the movement had his warmest sympathy, and would also receive his heartiest support. (Applause). He asked Mr Cockburn to move the first resolution. Mr Oockburn, following on the lines of the Mayor's remarks, spoke of the necessity there was for such a Club, and trusted the one proposed to be formed would be largely supported. He moved—" That a Club be formed in Ashburton, to be called the Young Men's Club, having for its object the pro vision of menus for the profitable employ ment of the leisure time of the young men of the town and district who may become mem bers of the Club, the provision for them of means for mutual improvement and enter tainment ; and generally to assist in main taining an elevated, social, moral, and intel lectual tone amongst the youth of the com munity." The Club was intended to pro vide opportunities for young men meeting together to spend a social evening. A read ing room would be a desideratum for those who desired to studf, and a gymnasium for such as wanted recreation of that sore. A piano might also be found, and arrangements made to make music a feature of the meet ings. In fact, there was no end to the pos sibilities for good of such a Club as waa pro posed. (Applause). Mr E. Purchase seconded th« resolution. There was no doubt that such a club was badly needed, and the number present that evening proved it. The project was one that should receive every support, as the club would catar both for the physical and mental enjoyment, and improvement of its members. It would of course start on a small scale, bub it was hoped that it would receive substantial support. In fact, it must receive euch support, if it was to be successful. Yean ago, such a club had been formed, bub for want of sup port it had died out in a few weeks. It de pended upon the young men whether the club was a success or not, and he hoped they would not fail to join and help it on* After other speakers had addressed the meeting, including Messrs H. M Jones, J. 8. Tennant, J. B. Brook and Rev. R. A. Woodthorpe, all of whom advocated the formation of such a club, with the in tellectual and social side of it more parti cularly cultivated, the resolution was carried unanimously. Mr Mac Lean Dun moved the second j resolution—That a committee—consisting of His Worship the Mayor, Messrs Purchase, Priest, Williamson, Curd, Walker, Jeff, Cockburn, Undrill, A. Orr, Brock, Tennant, Hardie, and Rev. R. A. Woodthorpe—-be formed to give effect to the foregoing re solution." Mr Cockburn soconded, and the resolution was carried. The meeting clcmed with a vote '■ of thanks to the Mayor, and the Committee met after wards, and appointed sub-committees to prepare reports, etc., for next meeting.
