D.J.C. SPRING MEETING.

Very bad time was kept to-day, the St. Andrew’s Handicap starting at 2 p.m.. in stead of 1 p.m. The Maiden Plate was won by “the certainty,” King Philip, after a slow race, but the winner was scarcely doing anything more than cantering. Mabel, the great “ pet,” was knocked out of the big handicap through a bad start, and the winner turned up in the outsider Kathleen. Several jockeys were fined for riding in wrong colors, and another thing that caused dissatisfaction was the fact that 5s was charged for admission to the stand, whereas it was stated at the sale of the gates, etc., that the authorised charge was 2s fid.
