I (lit/ Tehirtiph-Simial to Daily Tijiks). Woodvillk, This Day. There was great interest taken in the election of Secretary for the Jockey Club on Wednesday evening. The Jockey Club rooms being too small for the occasion, the meeting was held in the Alexandra Hall. Great dissatisfaction was caused by the ruling of the Chairman and President (Mr JJolton) to the effect Hint not only was subscription arrears to bo paid up but also the subscription for the coming year before a member was onlitlcdto vote. This difliculty, however, did not prove insurmountable, a raid being made for the loan of the necessary guinea. The contest was practically between Messrs Gothard and Nicholson though there were other applicants for the position, the re sult was aelcan win for the former with a majority of 18 votes.
