The A.R^C. bas now entered 'upon a five months' vacation.. There* will not bei ano- ther race meeting at' Victoria Park until to- wards the close of 'January. During the long recess the club will carry out several
improvement« on the «ground. A new to- ( talizator is to be -nvjtalled, and the mem-
bers' stand is to be slewed, so that it wfll 1 become useful to the occupante. The structure will be shifted back 10 ft. at one'end, and brought forward 10 ft. at the other, but it* is doubtful if it is possible to
shift the centre portion, < ' I
The trust fund, which is controlled by the committee of the SA-J.C. was in- stituted to indemnify racing' employers for claims made . under -the Workmen's Compensation Act, Thif Act expressly stipulates^ that an 'employer is liable and roust pay' £1 per week in case of, au in- jury to a workman who is incapacitated from duty. The committee of the StA.J.C., as'trustees' of the fund,-'cannot pay more than is provided under the Act. Recently, however, thet committee has received Jseve raT claims from hospitals not public, bat private "hospitals, and accounts from doc- tors, and the bills have been met. Take the case of A. G. Carter. ? He has re- ceived >£33 5/, and W. P. Burn £37 7/6. Then, too, J. Donaghy, of Lipson, on the West Coast, has had £9 li)/, and C. C. Bott received £13. The committee of the S.A.J.C. paid " all this out of ' the Disabled Jockeys' Fund, and not out of the
trust fund. In allowing disabled employes £1 per week* parliament perhaps, ex- pected ? -that they would ,be members of lodges or benefit societies,.and if eo the doctors' fees would be paid by the, lodge. If,k however, the injured jockeys go - into private hospitals, they will no ' doubt' ,bc called upon to pay for themselves.' ' Der- rick, who was injured last October¡at Gaw- ler, has received < £ 15 frcin the trust fund,' and on Monday the secretary' of the S.A-I.Ö received another claim from'the same 'source for £24- This laffer- will be coni-ide'.rtl by the- conunittc«' of \ the S \.J.C.,'at a meeting to be held today.

Tlie Kadina. and Wallaroo Jockey dab committee met on 'Thursday" evening, and adopted a programme for the October meeting, when £300 w3} be given in stakes. A letter of resignation as ban hicapper was received from Mr. H. Hughes, and this was received with regret. Mr. iW. Gordon WAS appointed to the vacant ' position. The 'secretary (Mr. W. F. Tay-
lor) reported that a deputation bad waited on the ^ Railways Commissioner Tvifh a request fori a siding' to be put in at .the racecourse. " ' The Commissioner favored the, request, providing the club paid por- | ition of the p-rpensc inc-orred, mtim-aiing
j that a definite proposal would'be forwarded I'the du*-. The fractions from the "last meeting were distributed amongst dif- ferent charities.

i On Monday the secretary of Tattersall's j Club took the entries for the Guineas , meeting, to^ be held at Moi-phr-rtville on ¡ Saturday, September 6, and also accept > anees-for the Guineas. With a'prompti- tude that is appreciated in a newspaper office, Mr. J. S. Malone sent both lists in to "The Advertiser" office by 5 o'clock, ? and a bbrJe lata* they were in the hands j of the printer. Owners and trainei-s made . a good response, and the nominations
show that there are 16 in the Hurdle, 21 in Tattersall's Handicap, 26 in the, Juve- nile Handicap, 8 in the Steeplechase, and 29 in the Spring Handicap.
On Monday the secretary of Tattersall's Ciub took the acceptance* for Tattersall's Guineas, an event to which 300 sovs. is added. Twenty-one have been Mt in, but it is evident that several of the three i year-olds have been overlooked, so that 1 several owners will be called upon to pay
the full amount of the sweepstakes, namely, 3 sovs., without running. The list is published to-day.
Mr. Adrian Knox. K.C., chairman of the i A.J.C, at the annual meeting, gave a
20-years' memoir of the club's proarress. lhe statement^ contained some astonishing features, showing the immense operations of this great racing institution. -He said I that in 1894 the total receipts came to
£32,000; in 1903, £43,000; and in 1913, £1*26,000. The respective working expenses were £7.690, £10,908, and £23,806. For the first 10 years practically nothing was Bpent on improvements. In the last 10 years they had spent considerably over £100,000 on improvement!-, exclusive of the amount for this year. The aggregate for the 20 years showed the working ex- penses to be £248,000, added money £649,000, countrv subsidies £4,000, im- provements £143,000, and profit £94,000, which represented the reserve. The total general receipts came to £1,140,000, the percentage of working expenses being 21.8 per cent., added money 57 per cent., country subsidies a fraction, improvements 12 per cent, profit 8 per cent. Every- thing had been {riven in stakes or improve- ments, or was in the bank. Taking the period of 20 years, an average period in some respects, though he admitted a good
one in others, and' -containing probably more good" years than in- another sucn period, the result waa not unsatisfactory. Mr. Knox explained why a considerable sum had been carried forward this year, They showed a profit of £16,856. This was necessary, as they were comnütted already to a large expenditure. Up to the time of the balance-sheet they had paid £11,000 in respect of the two stands, and as -the expenditure on the < contracte was about £45,000, the amount would be about £47,000 or £48,000 before they were finished. In the next year they had to ,pay £36,000, and they had plenty of money to do it, with. The grand stand could not possibly be got ready in tune for the Spring meeting. The steel came in good time, but as the Government re- sumed certain works, the steel had to be put together here. In addition, -there was the wet weather. The extensions to the official stand would probably be finished in time for Tattersall's September meeting, and certainly in time for the Spring meeting. «

After review- ing the DennanL competitions for the year, Mr..Bromley stated that, the annual' tour- nament had been a:huge success, and the inclusion of rtwo new events, the second open singles championship,- and the second open doubles championship, had < very much increased the entrance fees.
