PAEROA RACES.

OHINEMURI CLUB’S MEETING.

ROYAL DOULTON WINS CUP.

A clear, sky on the morning of Saturday last assured the Ohinemuri Jockey Club of fine weather for the first day of its fifty-third meeting, and throughout the morning the special trains and four, precessions of motor vehicjqs, converged at Paeroa, bringing crowds to the racecourse.

The programme was an attractive one, and the widely recognised ability of the club to conduct all its functions just as they .should be performed attracted patrons from far and near to this popular, race meeting. The attendance on Saturday was probably a record. Due to the clouded sky reducing the glare and heat of the sun the weather wa.s ideal, and the added facilities, provided by the c.lu'j for the enjoyment elf its patrons were much appreciated. The shifting of the grandstand and of the number board since the previous annual meeting were improvements on which the club was congratulated by visitor,s, and a<s before, the officials were warmly congratulated On the manner in which, the; meeting was conducted.

Tile racing was very interesting, and the handicapper, Mr F. J. Mc■M. nemin, had the winners well con-, coaled and. fair-sized dividends resulted 1 . Possibly the third-of-a- cen-. tury dividend on the first race by diverting monqy to the fifty-odd l pockets had something to do with the reduced sum handled by the machine on the day. The reduction was £242'5 10s, and! the amount handled was £30,407 10S.

The track was somewhat hard. There was no call q|n the services of the stipendiary steward during the day, but the. ambulance was requisi-. tioned once, to remove S. Henderson to the hospital when he received injuried as the result of. his mount Mangaiti falling at the first: of the double hur.dles in the... steeplechaser The horse was, killed outright. The principal event of. the flay, the Ohinemuri Gold Clip Handicap of £6OO was won nicely by Messrs Roulston 1 Bros.’ mare Royal Doulton, and! after the race Mr J. Roulston was presented with the gold cup value! at £75 by the Hon. P. A. de la Perrelle, Minister of Internal Affairs,. Speaking from the platform of. the number boarfl, the Minister expressed his pleasure at being able to visit. Paeroa. for the Ohinemuri Jockey Club’s annual fixture. It was twenty years singe his last visit, and the improvement in the town andl district was astounding. As the Minister in charge of ihorse-racing he appreciated wha,t the public was doing for the sport. At all race meetings the stewards had a great deal to do, but they did it well, and for t.he good of the sport. The conduct of the Paeroa meeting was splendid, and he had been very generously treated, by the club. It had not even made any requests to him, and haff not asked for the extra day’s permit which was floating round. From what he had seen of Paeroa it was a good place to live in, and he was glad! of the; opportunity of meeting so many people of the district. The Minister, offered his congratulations to the owners of the Cup winner, and to the rider and trainer, and then handed to, Mr Roulston the handsome trplphy. After Mr Roulston had expressed his thanks and had congratulated the club on being the best managed in tide country, the Minister presented the jockey, E. Keesing, with the goldmounted whip on behalf of the club and congratulated! him on his fine exhibition of horsemanship. At the call ■ elf. Mr; A. ■ M- SamneL M.P., cheers were then given for the Minister, the owner of the Cup wibr, ner, the jockey, and the Jockey Club. Following are the results:—
