TAKAI'UNA MEETING. FIRST DAY'S RESULTS. IJy Tel.^raph.—Per Proas Association. Auckland, Last Niglit. Tin- summer meeting of tin! Taknjniiia ! Jockey Club was continued to-day in j beautiful weather, when the remaining | five events that were postponed 011 the | previous day owing to rain were decided.' There was a large attendance and the sum of £23,(>78 was put through the totalisator for the five races, making the total for the eight races £32,354,' against £28,745 for the first day of the' summer meeting last year. | An enquiry was held concerning alleged interference with La Roina by Royal Irish in the Cup. After hearing evidence it was found that the probable cause of the interference was due to Royal Irish coming in rather quickly 011 Monorail, but taking into considera-; tion the good record of McFlinn, tlie : rider of Royal Irish, a severe caution! would meet the case.
