THE TURF.

WELLINGTON TROTTING CLUB. ROYAL SILK’S OUP TRIAL. iPer Press Association). WELLINGTON, This Day. Tho Wellington Trotting Club held its spring meeting at the Hutt Park racecourse on Saturday. The meeting, which was very well attended, opened in fine but windy weather, but before the second race rain set in and continued throughout the day, makingconditions unpleasant. At times the wind approached gale force, and the times registered in the different events could "not very well be compared, as conditions changed often during the day. The racing lacked interest generally, due mainly to the small fields, but there was a very exciting finish in the October Handicap. In the circumstances, the total isator turnover held up well, and at the end of the day £12,145 10s had been handled, compared with £14,900 15s on the corresponding day last year, a decrease of £2755 ss.

HALL MARK’S RIDER.

ROBBED OF A MEAL, t J. O’Sullivan, the Sydney lightweight who will probably ride Hall Mark in the Melbourne Cup, is 21 years of age, and can go to scale at 7st-. He is in the last year of his apprenticeship. When he had finished riding work on Derby day at Randwick his master said to him: “No breakfast for you. You are wanted to ride Gothiin at 6.12 in the Trial. You had better lie down and rest.” When the Trial Stakes came on, O’Sulliyan was pained to find that Gothlin’s weight was 7.5. His breakfast had been sacrificed for nothing. A little later he was observed by a Pressman parked behind a plate of sandwiches piled up high enough to almost hide him. '■<
