OHINEMURI JOCKEY CLUB

SECOND DAY’S RESULTS. VERY SUCCESSFUL MEETING. Contrary to expectations tlie weather was perfect on Monday last (St. Patrick's Day) for the second day of the Ohineniuri Jockey Club’s annual meeting on the Paeroa course. As on the first day, everything went with a swing, and the arrangements reflect groat credit on the secretary, Mr HPoland, and the stewards. The racing throughout was of a high order, and decidedly interesting. The track on Monday - was a trifle hard, and the sting in the ground did not suit some of the horses.

Owing to congestion on the railways due to excursion trains, the special train from Auckland was delayed at Ngaruawahia, and as a consequence it did not arrive until after the first race lind started.

An inquiry was held into the falling of Lady Arch in the Hikutaia Hack Handicap, and it was found that it was caused by Lady Arch getting on tlie heels of. Irene Bruce. S. Tremain, the rider of Lady Arch, had hi.s collarbone broken. After the race for the Waitekauri Handicap W. H. Jones, rider of Nancy Lee, was severely cautioned for coining in too quickly on Bright Knight. M. Young, the rider of Glenidlc, was fined the amount of his riding fee for interference with Te Kara during the running of the Paeroa Handicap. J. Mephan was cautioned for careless ri'ding at the finish of the Paeroa Handicap. W. Bagby, who rode Knighton in the Waikino Handicap, was fined £5 for interfering with Zircon. The totalisator handled £33,351 10s. making a grand total of £64,067 for the meeting, compared with £57,401 10-" for the two days last year. Following nre the results :—
