HAWKE’S BAY J.C. MEETING. NAPIBB, October 3. The J.C. Spring Meeting to-day was very successful. The weather was fine, though windy, and there was a large attendance. Good fields mustered, and there were several close finishes. There were two totalisstors on the ground, bat their working gave great dissatisfaction. The machinery of one was so defective that it had to be closed, and it was alleged that the other several times'gave false registers in the totals. They are Dunedin made machines locally owned. The results were as follows : Hawke's Bat Guineas— los eovs, with a sweep of 5 sove each for acceptors added ; colts and geldings Set 101 b, fillies Sat 51b; one mile.
