The Maorics held a sort of tnngi over the anitnai, and 'mad« a great be^ailnient ov«r-tUo toss. -. Tui'y' iiivn cleared out, liaviug had enough,of rhcin^.\ Sub-
ssquently at the same jump, but in another race, a jockey-named Smales was thrown, ' and broke his collarbone. He-was riding Awahou, and had won everything he rode for. .During the meeting he was up in four races out of five, and was on the winning hcrsa in each.
