Newton Races: Several years ago, the parishes of Newton Abbot and Newton Bushel could boast of a good annual race meeting. Of late, however, from causes which it will be better not to mention, these races have passed into oblivion, the last meeting having been held in 1857. … (discussion of plan to reactivate races) … After a desultory conversation, a committee composed of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their number, was appointed to make the necessary arrangement, viz; Messrs. White, Pinsent, Quick, Harris, Cull, Millward, Magor, Chapell, and W. Cann. This committee will meet this evening and probably in a few days we shall be enabled to announce something more definite.
