The. riot at the Auckland trotting meeting should result in a searching investigation by the Colonial Secretary into the methods adopted at trotting meetings generally. It is a matter of common report that, the amount oi "crooked" work practised at trotting meetings has alarmingly increased in. recent years. The unsophisticated public is "taken down" in a barefaced manner, and the alleged sport has degenerated into a vicious form of daylight thieving.
