o TARANAKI J.C. MEETING. CONCLUDING DAY’S RACING. The Taranaki Jockey Club’s meeting was continued yesterday in ideal weather. , The attendance was large, the arrangements excellent, and - the spur., good; backers finding as much difficulty as on the previous day 111 sorting out the winners. Byron, wfioso chances in the Cup were spoiled by interference justified his party’s confidence by winning the Paul Memorial, Stakes nicely, and just beating the much-fancied Dearest. investment'was brisk, the totalisator turnover for the day amounting to £12.614 10s against £11,578 last year. The total for the meeting was r--452 10s, compared with £22,084 10s last year. The Stipendiary Steward (Mr McMahon) was present, and riders were accordingly on their Lest behaviour, recent lessons tending to make them careful. An enquiry was opened regarding the i .inning in the Hurdle Race in which the rider of the second horse .Aviitvlx) had, when some dozen lengths in the lead, eased his mount so much that he was caught napping, but it was ultimately adjourned until February :25th. The dividend yar pa.d out on the first horse, Bercola, but the money invested on the second and third horses, Avi.ivix and Timothy, was impounded, pending the result of the enquiry. Just before the FareiVell Handicap and while doing her preliminary, Lucerne unfortunately put her foot in s. bole and slightly ricked her back. She uas,

of course, unable to sta’t in the race : and returned to the paddocx. By tins time the sum of over 100 had been invested on the mare’s number on ■the machine, and to the disappointment of those who had invested it was discovered that the stewards had no power to make a refund, as 'he rules of racing distinctly state that pnce a horse in in the hands of the . starter no money may be refunded from the totajisatbr. A hors© is in the hands of the starter after the jockey , has weighed out. During the running of the Paul Memorial, Kina, •when well up and apparently showing a good winning chance, broke a blood vessel and was pulled up.
