EGMONT RACING CLUB. t SUCCESS FOR MIDI AN. HAWERA, February 14. The Egmont Racing Club’s meeting was concluded in ideal weather. There was a large attendance, the track was hard and fast, and' the totalisator handled £10,377, against £8647 last year. The total for the meeting was £21,814, compared with £17,558 last year. At the finish of the Electric Handicap the stewards held an inquiry into the apparently consistent running of the winner, Life Guard, who finished fourth on the first day. They passed a resolution that they considered the horse had been incapably handled by Jarvis on the first day, and in view of the evidence saw no reason to suspect improper practice. No action ivas taken. B. H. Morris, rider of Life Guard, was censured by the stewards for not riding his mount out at the finish of the Electric Handicap, in which lie was nearly beaten.
