Last season was as, I think, is shown from the accounts, one of the most successful in the history of the Club and, so far as the racecourse is concemed, the recent meeting we had on Boxing Day at Kwanti was also probably a record.
Since that last race meeting one or two improvements have been made and farther accom- modation provided and I trust even if on Sunday next we have anything like the number of people who attended last time, they will not be incon- venienced by overcrowding.
