The Auokland correspondent of the Evening Press says:—A short time ago a race meeting was held at' Whangarei, a small township eighty or so miles north of Auckland. During the meeting some: disgraceful swindles were perpetrated, 1 whioh resulted in wholesale disqualification of owners, jockeys, and horses, The disqualification-has not yet been endorsed by tho A.R.C. as they are not in possession of all the facts. : After such a warning it; was expected that such nefarious practices would cease. Not a bit of it. The other day a glaring swindle was worked at the Onehunga meetinp. The owner was disqualified for five years, the jockey for six months, and the horse for ever. The horse comesbestoutofitl reckon. Its pretty hot, but the public must be protected from the sharps, jn sanje way or other,'and accordingly the Onehunga Jockey deserves their heartfelt thanks for taking the bull by the horns in such a masterly style.' Racing matters are rather flat here just now. The TakaI puna meeting on the 30th ult. was 'the' last flutter we had.' The North Shore meetings are/ery popular, but the last was spojlt by the rain.

They are splendidly made, and the patterns are the same as tho West of England tweeds. To prevent dealers from buying them up, no customer can purchase more than threo pairs.
