OAMARU JOCKEY CLUB.

LAST REFRAIN WINS MEMORIAL

(Per Press Association.)

OAMARU, This Day,

The Oamaru Jockey Club was again favoured with splendid weather for the conclusion of its autumn meeting on Saturday. Steady rain fell throughout the previous night, but the morning broke fine but dull and gradually improved. There was a much larger attendance than on the first day and the figures would have been greater but for the uninviting outlook in Dunedin just before the special train left, and for counter attractions. Speculation was brisk and the amount handled, £14,049 (win £6316, place £7733) was £4294 10s above the turnover on the concluding day (a public holiday) of last year’s meeting, with the single pool system. The total for the meeting was £22,974 10s, as compared with £17,292 last year, an increase of £5662 10s. Details are as follow:
