SATURDAY’S RACING

Two Dominion Meetings Big Increases in Investments Cuddle Disappoints in Australia 0 Tha Wanganui Jockey Club and Wellington Trotting Club Meetings attracted the attention of racing followers on Saturday, both showing substantial increases in their totalisator returns. Kingcraft annexed the big race at Hutt Park (the Bollard Memorial), heading Avernus to pay a big dividend. Boyal Palm, which won the Eailway Handicap, was another surprise, returning printers over three score. At Wanganui Deficit, also an outsider, took the Guineas. Cuddle disappointed a host of admirers by fading out in / the Tramway Handicap at Eandwick. She came home weakly in ninth place.' There was a curious accident,in a hurdle race at the same ipeeting. A jockey received a severe knock on the nose at the first jump, and, completely dazed, was unable to remember anything that happened afterwards, yet went on 1 to win. He had to be carried to the scales to weigh in.
