NAPIER PARK ACCEPTANCES.

(Per Press Association), Napier, last night. The following acceptances for the Napier Parle Racing Club's Winter meeting havo been received : Handicap Hurdle Race, of 50 sovs ; 1:1 miles.

A ruling nf tho Referees’ Association last week in Wellington may cause some comment, and to make clear what it moans I will quote what tho referees have oeen given instructions to rule strictly, •vrites Touchlinc in the Free Laneo : The mse-law decision reads: —"A referee has lower to refuse to allow appeals (except m those cases in which tho rules expressly into a claim may bo made), and if he .varns players offending iri this respect, be nay order such players off the field for niseonduct if the warning is unheeded. The ordering off, though should only be esorted to when the referee is of the .pinion that tho appealing is done with lie intention of harassing or influencing him in his decisions.” Many players in Gisborne should read, mark, learn, and in wardly digest tho above. It is plain and decisive, and the only reason why it has not been carried out in full in tho pkst is because the majority of tho senior referees consider the punishment more severe than tho offence deserves. However, in tho interests of tho game they decided to sink their own feelings, and carry out the rule in its entirety. For Bronchial Cough, take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, Is fid and 2s fid everywhere.
