Wynyard, at Takapuna, cn Saturday, which -probably marks a record in the paying out of stakes. Mr. Hayr was very confident of Monorail's ability to win, and this Mr. Wynyard was aware of. Anticipating the victory, Mr.,Wynyard made out the cheque for the stake, and as 600n as the liorsas passed the post, the cheque was handed over to Mr. Hayr, amidst applause."
