(By Telegraph—

' PALMERSTON N., Jan. 22. The annual race meeting of the Ash-hurst-Pohangina Racing Club was held to-day on the Ashhurst racecouTse bejfore a very large attendance. The weather was. fine, but a boisterous wind made matters a little unpleasant. The racing thrqughout was first class, three very close finishes being staged, but the riding exhibited was not of a very high standard and in more than one instance beaten horses better served would undoubtedly have been successful. All the receipta showed a substantial increase on recent years, with the gates ovdr £200 up on last year's takings and the totalisator, which handled £13,689 agaidst £8885, showiHg an increase of £4804.
