TRUE SPORT.

The address delivered by Sir George Olifford, President of the Racing Con ference, at the opening meeting of that body in Wellington on Thursday last 8 is one that ought to be well studied by every true sportsman, as well as by those pseudo-sportsmen to whom horse racing would have no meaning and but small attraction did it not afford oppor tunity for gratifying their passion for gambling. The first portion of Sir George's speech dealt with matters interesting mostly to those who are members of clubs or own horses, but other parts of it have an interest of a j much wider character, and one or two , references made by him indicate that he at least has a desire that the sport which seems so dear to him should be conducted honestly and with due regard to that honor which is said to be one of the strong points of the true sportsman. He ppoke with no uncer tain sound on the subject of horses whose owners had been disqualified and expressed a hope that some means should be devised for rendering the ownership of all racehorses readily and distinctly ascertainable. Equally unj raistakoable was the meaning of his reference to ownership of racehorses by paid officials of racing clubs, a rule relating to which waa passed with the object of securing public confidence in the impartiality of officials, but which rule, Sir George said, had been dis regarded in ov»re than one instance, Dealing with penalties he said a hard and fast scale was impracticable, bnt stewards should remember that they hold their offi .c in trust, not only for the benefit of their own club, but also Ifor the general welfare of all clubs, and " hence the quality of mercy was i overstrained where, for an offence alleged to be of a most serious nature, two horses, with their trainpra and jockeys were disqualified for the period of the meeting only." In Sir George's opinion disqualification should under such circumstances have been made ffective for a much longer petiod,and at every meeting sanctioned by the Con ference. Referring to the Ethel " ringj ing in " case, Sir George made some remarks that owners with loose ideas of what is honorable in matters relating to turf ought to lay well to heart. He said—" The knowledge that a criminal net on the turf bears the same fruit as criminality elsewhere cannot fail to have a salutary fffect in diverting the attention of perpetrators of such acts from a field wlitre detec tion ip so eiis>y" Sir George then went on to say that the vast majority of those who find their recreation in the sport of horse racing are attracted ' by the sport itself, being genuine sportsmen, to whom pecuniary cob- | siderations are a secondary interest. The smaller class who subordinate racing to gambling are the most dangerous assailants of sport as sport, and to that section all the troubles were owiug that tended to excite prejudice against the promoters of Bport,and hence arose the antagonism of the latter to those who utilised sport to extract from it a questionable living as professional gamblers. Sir George was of opinion that the law as it stands was adequate, if enforced, for protection against the bookmaker and the illicit existence of the unregulated " tote shop." In a previous article we dealt with Sir George's remarks in regard to the totalisator revenue of the clubs of the colony, and need not again refer to them, further thaa to quote a sentence to show that the chairman of the conference is not by any means satisfied that all the clubs of the colony are run in the interests of true sport. He says—»" We m>iy assume that wherever the proportion of stakes to totalisator revenue is less than 100 per cent, the authorities who control licenses will scrutinise balance sheets with some care." And, doubt less, the table he submitted to the conference showing the proportions paid by the various clubs in the colony will give pointers to the authorities referred to.

The proposed Young Men's Club deserves the support of every citizen. And it is hoped that the young men themselves will appreciate the efforts now being made to establish an institution for their own benefit iv Ashburton. As the youths of our colony become better educated, ani elevated to a higher moral plane by such helps and associa tions as the proposed Club will undoubtedly afford them, they will beoome more respected and better citizens. They will no longer be found loitering and wasting their money in questionable ways, and as " the apparel oft denotes the man" they will become more particular in the choice of their tailors. Messrs Cbaighead and Bbrrvman are evidently keeping "up to date" as The Leading Tailors and Outfitters of Ashburton Their immense stock of new winter goods comprise the newest styles and raaterala a? now worn at Home, and of course their long established reputation for tit and workman ship need only be pointed out to visitors and strangers who may wish to know where to find the boat tailors and to get entire " satis faction.' Ladies also find their orders for tailor made costumes executed by this firm in the latest styles most satisfactory, and at the most reasonable prices 11 Stop Smoking," said a Boston doctor to an ailing patient the other day, " and it will lengthen your days."
