Our Muttaburra correspondent writes:—The horses for the Turf Club annual meeting (grass-fed) go into paddock next Thursday, and from all accounts a goodly number will be paddocked, thus insuring a financial success. The main feature of the meeting will be the race for the ladies’ bracelets, of which there are three, of the value of £80, £20, and £15, and a keen contest is expected. The annual meeting of the club was to have been held last Friday evening, but was adjourned to 26th instant, as there was not sufficient members present (many being out of town) to form a quorum. A committee meeting of the club was held last week, when there were present : Messrs. A. E. L. Moreton (in the chair), R. Booth, J. Roberts, W. H. Langdon, G. Emblem, and the secretary (F. K. Lawliss). Mr. Lawliss, who has been secretary of the club for three years, handed in his resignation, and it was decided to invite applications for the position, to be considered at the adjourned annual meeting.
