It is about four years since a spring meeMng was held in Ashburton, a«d ai was expented nominations for the various fivents were nob perhaps so numerous as those interested, oould wish, but this, how ever, is nob by any means unusual at a tpriDß meeting. The weather on Wednes day was exceptionally fine, and indications then promised a particularly fine day, and a good course. Unfortunately, however, a severe storm of rain occurred about three o'clock this morning Daylight, however, opened fine—followed towards midday with showery w ather. The course, in its spring clothing, appeared to advantage, and with the exception of a somewhat heavy track the other conditions were auspicious. The compilation oi th* programme had the very careful consideration of the numbers of the Committee, and, aB a result, the public were provided with an interesting day's amusement The officers of the Club are to be cmplimented upon their courtesy to the press, and their other duties were carried out in a way that added to the general success of the meeting. The work of the Secretary at these times proves a severe strain, to whioh, however, Mr A A Pooka proved himself as quite rqu&l to. The publioan'a booth inside was in the hands of Mr Joo Cusaok, together with the luncheon room in bo' h cf which th* catering was satisfactory* The Telegraph Depart ment on the ground was under the charge of Mr, G W Hsafeton. Although the weather fora few hours before the start of the pro ceedings was distinctly unpromising the attendance was very good, but the cumber of private carriages was smaller than at the niaal meeting!
