In the matter of the appeal by 0. , R. Emerson, jockey, against the decision of the Wellington District Committee in dismissing the appeal lodged by him against the decision of the stewards of the Wellintgon Racing Club in suspending him until March 31st, 1915, for negligence in riding, in that he pulled his mount Sutala back somewhat, and endeavored to go into the rails, without first ascertaining that he was not interfering with any other horses, with the result that the horse Bimeter struck his mount, and so caused an accident, the judges of the Racing Conference decided as follows to-night: "We are of opinion that Emerson was guilty of negligence in riding, and we therefore dismiss the appeal." ■
