A meeting of the Masterton Ilare rier Club 'twas 'held 'last night, to 5- make preparations for the final run i- of the "season, to be held from Mr F. > Hood's residence, Upper Plain, on s- Thursday next. Mr F. Hood ha 3 d kindly offered to entertain the mem- *. hers of the Club at the finish of the !i day's sport.

The Dunedin Magistrate has given his reserved judgment in the case ia - which a retailer was charged with f carrying on a guessing competition. t The main point was that, a purchaser had to buy ten shillings worth of J goods before be was allowed what - was termed a free guess as to ihow : long an extraordinary candle would ; burn. The Magistrate held that ' the answer to the problem how long ; a candle would bum might have been calculated exactly by any person of skill who toolc the trouble to acquire the necessary data, and make a calculation. That as a matter of fact the competitors chose to wildly guess the answer would not make it a game of chance. A child might,' , on being asked what 12 times 13 is, wildly guess the answolr, but that would not turn the question into a lottery or a game of chance. Both informations would be dismissed. m IT IS THE RESOLVE.
