GREYMOUTH TROTTING CLUB.

Yesterday, although the weather was perfect, the attendance was not more than about 1,500. But all enjoyed (hemselves well. The trotting was good throughout, the lad event being particularly exciting, Transvaal winning by a short nose. There was only one cause for complaint during the meeting, and that was a protest for what was practically an unintentional starting of two sulkies during the second round in a race, but which, it was held, did not interfere with the result and the protest was dismissed.
