ent of the balance, with the exception
OF his subscription for one year.
Many good worus were forthcoming for
Aleck Harris. the trackman on account
of the excellent work he is doing.
There was considerable discussion as to
who should foot the bill in cases where
an owner had repaired his stalls on his
own responsibility. The matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
II was decided to refer the Ioss of the
Rcsita Challenge Cup to the police de-
partment and obtain their assistance In
tracing the trophy. The last definite
news of the cup was when John Cum
minis handed it over to Wichman, the
jeweler, to be cleaned. One wag suggest
ed that new officer be elected, to be
known as the Custodian OF the Cup.

to donate a cup for the Hawaian-bred
trotting and pacing class, to be raced for
