A correspondent writes •— " The entries wera Flying Soad and Baby The riders were two Maori women, who rode stride legs. The Flying Scud distanced Baby, because the rider of the latter stopped to take a lunar at the interior of the steward's tent, having bean pitched through the top of the tent head foremoßt, leaving her horee to proceed round the course. She was extricated by the heela first (just m time to see her opponent passing the winning post) none the worse for her gymnastic feat, If this bad happened a little earlier m Ihe day what a ' chuck in ' the stewards would have had for lunchaon." !
