At the North Otago meetih'f! the stewards held an inquiry into tile running of l'\ Xeligan's gelding, Harvest, a t'hrce-voar-old son of Clanranald, from Golden Vale. liar vest was a starter in the Spring Handicap, four furlongs, 'the first event of ibe Meeting l , 'in which Ik ran unplaced, there being only one ticket invested on 'his chance. In the fifth race, another four furlong go. Harvest started second favourite ami won ; the time record was 51 sees, in each 'instance.

"Sir Bodivere" is of opinion that had Lady l.yonors got even moderately away she must have beaten Master Alix. Mr .1.
