T.J.C. AUTUMN MEETING.

SUCCESSFUL OPENING DAY.

* VESPUCCI WINS THE CUP. The Taranaki Jockey Club’s - autumn meeting was opened yesterday in beautiful weather, when there 'was a large attendance representative of the whole of Taranaki and outside districts. It is considered that the attendance was fully up to previous meetings. The sport provided proved very interesting, fields "being good and the finishes in many cases exciting. Additional interest was lent by the fact that the winners were well concealed, only two actual first favorites paying first dividends, while on two occasions double figures were- reached. Considering the times speculation was very satisfactory, the sum of £25,826 going through the machine, as compared with £31,840 for the corresponding day last year, a decrease of £6014. The totalisator was well controlled under the supervision of Mr. L. Rae, the Government representative being Mr. Ardell. The principal event wr.a the Taranaki Cup of 1000 sovs. Keen interest was evinced as the nine contestants paraded. All had their admirers, many having recent form to their credit. Landslide was made favorite, with Silver Link, who had never been over a mile, next in demand. Both, however, failed to run up to expectations, though Silver Link was prominent m the early stag •, Vespucci, who was always handy, winning comfortably by three lengths from the Rotorua Cup winner Truthful, with Egmont Park a close third. The success of Mr. G. D. Greenwood’s colors did not evoke any applause, being received for the most part in silence, save for a few dissentient voices. The open sprint went to the smart Hawera owned Awake, who won well.

There was only one incident to mar the racing, and that was when Skylight and Master Curran came down in the Mimi Welter, but their riders escaped injury. An inquiry was held into the occurrence, and the evidence showed it was accidental. Mr. McMahon was stipendiary steward, but found no other occasion for enquiry. Mr. C. O’Connor as starter dispatched his fields well, whilst Mr. J. R. L. Stanford in the judge’s box hoisted his decisions promptly and correctly. The officials all did* their work ably, with the result that the races were got off well up to time. Mr. E. P. Webster (the secretary) and. his staff had complete arrangements made, everything working smoothly. The catering in the hands of' the Hygienic Bakery, the tea kiosk under the club’s own control, and the refreshment booth under Mr. E. Whittle, gave general satisfaction. The 4th Battalion Band was present and rendered a programme of music that was much appreciated. Mr. J. Blewman had the course and its appointments looking well. The lawns, with their bright flower beds, presented a very pleasing appearance. Detailed results are:—

TURF TOPICS. (By “Moturoa.") Mr. H. Coyle’s weights for the second day (Saturday) of the Taranaki Jockey Club’s autumn meeting were declared last evening, and owners and trainers should note that acceptances close to-day at 12 noon. With so many horses on the scene it is certain that the acceptance lists will be flrat-class, and that patrons will be provided with a splendid day's racing to-morrow. In addition to the ordinary events, the Eighth Taranaki Stakes will be decided, and the presence of Gloaming and other good horses should prove a great attraction.

Visiting owners, traihers. and others are 1 directed to peruse the programme of the Opunake Racing Club, published in this issue. The meeting is one of tte most popular of the country gatherings oif this coast and the stakes are well worth competing for. The meeting takes place on Friday, March 17, and eight events are carded, the principal of which are the Opunake Cup (Open), of 350 sovs., one mile and a quarter; the St. Patrick's Handicap (Open), of 250 sovsi, six furlongs; and the Handicap Hack Hurdles, of 200 sovs., one mile and a half. In addition the Maiden Plate 1* worth 100 sovs. and four hack flat races 150 sovs. each. Nominations (1 sov.) for ail events dose on February 24, at 5 p.m. Mr. H. Coyie wirr attend to the handicapping. The Gaming Act of 1908 is probably th& most drastic piece of legislation ever foisted on a long-suffering racing public, and its. strict enforcement by a new set of raceeourse detecthes, and by fresh blood in the ranks of the stipendiary stewards, is causing considerable consternation. The regulations relating to the conduct of race meetings not only debar from entrance to racecourses bookmakers, their clerks, assistants, and agents, disqualified persons, commo 'prostitutes and all the rest of the undesirables but also “professional tipsters” (VBhere do the sporting scribes come in?) and persons guil- : ty of any crime at all. not excepting "theft mischief, assault, or any offence, which comes under the Crimes Act of 1908?* Now, nobody pretends thfct the race-going fraternity is any better than any other, but none of us are saints, and many quite decent fellows have been, guilty of some slight indiscretions In their time. Whey these should weigt against their going to races is hard to explain. Take the person who, perhaps for a joke, "lifted” something and got found out or "cracked" another gentleman who got "fresh.” Or was caught on licensed premises after hours, having »‘a taste.” Or thought it a joke to transfer a whisky advertisement and Its hoarding to the front premises of a wowser establishment. Well, they can all be "warned off” racecourses, though there is nothing in the wide world to stop them going to dhurch, or to the Y.M.C.A., or to the Salvation Army. Why not go the whole hog, and "bar” fellows who go Asking on Sundays; tell their wives that they are detained at the office 0' nights; or swear that the< never lose at races? Why not. Indeed? The above preamble may sound /tdfeuious, but when you consider the case of an exjockey, who after leading an exemplary life for a considerable period, find giving efficient and faithful service 1n a racing stable during the same time, Tjlis bls application for a license turned down by a sympathetic District Committee because thei had no jurisdiction to grant a license under existing regulations——the aforesaid jockey saving committed a minor offence in the dbm ages of the past—then it is surely time that something was done to amend such ridiculous legislation. The writer read In a northern contemporary recently of two stewards being removed from a racecourse by the "official” racecourse detectives, and in another case I am informed that a secretary of a racing club was told that his presence on a course was mrt desirable—all fbr some minor breaches of the above ridiculous Act. Several members of District. Committees have expressed to the writer their strong disapproval of these gaming regulations, and it Is up to the Racing Conference to see that the laws are amended so that persons who have proved by their later actions and conduct that they have reformed, may be chance to again hold their headS up amongst men. Trampling upon a fellow who is down isn’t fair play as the sportsman regards it.
