DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB'S MAY MEETING.

FiEST Day— Sattjhday.

Tfce May mesting of tbe Dufit'din Jockey Olub w.\g coxnmenccd on thf Forbnry racecourse on Hfeturday. The attend m.^e, though' it reached lair dimtnaioos, was distinctly below the avo-l-fcge, but this may doub hss be attributed to the rain v?laich fell in the morning, an 3 tbe doubts <hst were entertaiwd a? to the likelihood o >he weather clearing As it was thoee who \ i)K«'d the course took their pleasures sndh 1 nongh. There were frequent drizzling , ahow«s»B during the d&y, and while this was depressing there was very little countervailing excitement. The "going was heavy— much more so than the duration of the morning's rain would have justified one in expecting — and although the fields were very fair the racing was J nofc particularly interesting It wou'd have been unl'ke a race day at the Forbury if there were ao protests, but the likeness was preserved, a protest being iodgtd against ArUne, the winner of the Tradesmen's Handicap, on the. ground thfct the rider had failed to draw weight on returning to scale. There seemed to be some mystery about tbe affair — a mystery which the club itself assisted in creating. It was obvious to all onlookers that Rae. Arline's rider, had, on weighing in, some difficulty in making up the nropsr weight, and some curious stories gained circulation in which there was mor« or less confused uieaUon of the foot of one of the srewaros, & bit; of lead, and the rider'e bridle. The press representatives were asked to the scales by one of the stewards to have the circumstances explained to them, and it was then [ stated by the clerk of scales (Mr Bivtcner) ' that while Rar foiled io draw weight at frat he 1 subsequently bj aHe" ? .g hia position on tbe tcales and by bringing his bridle into the reckoning just succeeded in amwering requirements. About the time at which this explanation was given it became known that Mr M'Ginuess, the owner of Maremma, the second horse, had \ entered a protest, and a meeting of the stewards | was Bummooed. It is the policy of the club to ! admit the press to meetings of the stewards when protests are under coDs'dera.tit>aj but on this occasion the secretary informed the reporters that they were not to go into ths room. Subsequently it was announced that consideration of the protest had been adjourned until 8 p.m., at which time our representative presented himself at the club's office, bui; waa j informed that the inquiry was not open to the ' prees, and that a reporc of what iif^ppaucd would be supplied by the club From this it appears that the protest wa3 dismissed, &nd that Mr Fleming, owner of Arline, was consnred for touching the scale. It is understood that before the protest was entered a, number of the holders of tickets on Arline received dividends from the tot&lisabors. In the absence of Mr P. Miller, who was hsdisposed, Messis S. Solomon and J C. Shors cfividtd the duties of judge. Results: — FIRST HURDLE HANDICAP, Of 80SOVE, second horse lOsovs from the stakes.

ISI 113 The field went away together, and when they had taken their places Belmont was in front, with Supplejack second and Stanley third, Eaiti being pulled back to the vaav. A bad jump by Belmont brought him into third place at tha back tf the coarse, but he recovered his position on the flat, snd, with the exception of I Kaiti, the field was in a cluster at the hot bom of tbe course. Supplejack, however, led at the foot of the straignt, where he knocked a hurdle over, and he held command also as tha mile was completed, Stanley be'ng then a length or so bfchiir.d him, wiih Bduiont third and Kaiti fourth. Running rouDd the top turn Belmont compounded, and Kaiti went after the leader, entering the back stretch five or six lengths behind Stanley, while Supplejack had increased, his lead over the latter to three or four lengths. Kaiti's effort made ao impression, and was of short extent", and with halt' » mile to go the issue was reduced to one between Supplejack and Stanley, and the former, though he again knocked a hurdle down at the foot of tfce straight, was never troubled, winning in a canter by three.lengthfl. Bslmont was a bad third, finishing juat in front of Kaiti. Time, 4min 21sec. Dividends : Inside, £3 3s ; outside (10s tickets), £2 ss. ! BIAIDEJT PLATE.

The attendance at the Forbury racecourse yesterday, when the Dunedin Jockey Club's May mseting was continued, was cone-iderably larger than on the first day of the meeting, but the weather was again gloomy and cold until the af tern -on was well advanced, when the sun broke through the clouds and for a time very pleasant conditions prevailed, but after that some rain fell and drove many peop'e off the course. The going had improved greatly since Saturday, and was fairly good. The fields were fairly large for mo3t of the events, and some interesting sport was -*isocs«ed. In the Hurdle Handicap the 1 rsfnll of Saturday'!* race was reversed, Sup,;]'.'jack, the favouri'.e, bainjj h^nd?.jinsly beaten, j For the Provincial Handicap Sequin w&s nnade a somewhat strong order, but «be was rarely prominent, and Msremma, coming with a characteristic dash up the straight, to the foot of which Vandyke had led, won ruthfr cleverly. Remor*e II wss a pr-nounced favourite foi* the St. Clsir Ha'idicip, but though he. shovvwi plenty of pace hh < ff.->rt wa» delayed until too late iv the race, acd he was unable to catch Barmby, the latter, after gire some trouble at the itart, wimtiug practically from end to end. Sc. Ouida had no difficulty in accounting for the Novel Race, for which there were 11 starters ; and the Wairongoa Handicap then came cm for decision. Arline w*s a strong favourite, being bvked almost down to level tnouoy in a field of seveu, aad, stffer occapying a bandy posision f<;r half a mile, shs. was brought to the front at the foot of the straight, and, deposing of, Caunomnot- in » brief luß*le,> encountered no £t!ttber opposition, placing a "merit.jriou* victory to her own ; credit and ths thud -pui ot the day to a War- j rington sire.

' a fa )rß to leave the couiise'in good spiri's. Doru g the foivnojn J. Pine, who rode Sequio in the principal event on Saturday last, was halad before tbe stewards, j on the complaint of Mr ML Hobbs, owner of Starshot, that he had struck that mare across the head witk his whip, and he wan severely reprimanded by theaj. The amount that wa* I passed through the tiUlK&tors by Me*sr Mason ! and Robacts- was £4209 10s, whii;L i*> £20A9 10s ■ iesi th»n was handled on the corresponding day lof last year's meeting. The total opera* fit! upon duriug the meeting, just over was £7031 10*, as •gainst £10,185 10s *t the May vat efcing ot 1897. The Engineers' Band performed an acceptable selection of music on the lawn. The starting was sstisfactoiy. feud the other arrangements left little to bt desired. It was evident, however, that the dub was endeavouring to " ruu " the details in connection with the management of the club with an insufficient number of hands, and, after the first fevr races, there was anything but punctuality, observed in the starting of the events, the result being that the final ! racs was run a'.moii; isx the dark.
