striding along in good style; and Waitiri, after accomplishing once round at a medium pace, was picked np by Balvage, the pair putting in a strong mile.

Auckland, This day. Much sympathy is expressed with Mr Gallagher over the loss of his imported steeplechaser Granville, who was killed at the Otahohu meeting on Saturday, A free fight took place at the Otahuhu race meeting between 1). O'Brien, horseowner, Le Sueur, a bookmaker, a jockey named Williams, and a man named Evans. O'Brien suffered at Evans' hands, and La Sueur was knocked about by Williams. The dispute arose over a race not being ran to suit some people's books.
