.referred to the interview given to Wellington Pressmen by a prominent jockey, who had lately returned from England, m which that jockey had stated that riding on English courses was very clean and fair, and he asked whether that could be conscientiously said of thd riding m New Zealand. Hg had grave doubts about it. He referred to the Press comment upon this subject and said he feared it was entirely justified. The Auckland stewards had given the matter anxious consideration and had concluded that the racing at Ellerslie might not have been, sufficiently supervised? and that the penalties hitherto inflicted for offences of this kind had been inadequate. By way of remedy, they proposed to materially increase the supervision , by. stationing members of their body at certain vantage points, thereby assisting the stipendiary steward, who for various reasons was compelled to view the racing from the stewards' stands. Further, it was intended, seeing that light penalties had not had a deterrent effect, to matrially increase the penalties m all well proved cases. He made an earnest appeal to the older jockeys, to cooperate with the stewards m. their efforts to put down the evil complained of and to set an example to the younger ones. He appealed to them all' to play > the game, give their competitors a fair chance, and be sportsmen. He reminded them of the dangers of their calling m these days of big fields, where a breach of the riding rules might lead to a tragedy. These rules |he said, were devised by men of racing wisdom, for the purpose of ensuring fair play to all and for the further purpose of safeguarding the lives of the riders. Mr Earle was attentively listened to by the jockeys and was loudly applauded by them at the close.
