AUCKLAND TROTTING CLUBS AUTUMN MEETING.

The Auckland Trotting Club's autumn meeting commenced on Saturday at Epsom. The weather was disagreeable, showers falling throughout the afternoon, which had the effect of. making the track very greasy. The racing was very interesting, the hanuicapper (Mr F. W. Edwards) succeeding in bringing the fields well together. Mr Ike Hill officiated as judge, and Mr O'Connoi-as starter, the, latter gentleman .performing as usual. The afternoon's sport was admirably conducted by the secretary (Mr C. F. Mark) and the various officials. Speculation through the totalisator (owing to the absence of the bookmakers) was decidedly brisk, the machines, under Messrs Blomfleld and Co., handling the sum of £3277 10/, which is an increase of £1331 10/ on last year's amount. The later results are:—
