j AS.C. WINTER -IEBTTNG. j A BIG DITIDEND. The curtain was rung down on the locai , racing season on Saturday last at Ellerslie, ! when the concluding day's racing in con- ! neetion with the A.B.C. Meeting took i place. The weather was perfect, and there was a large attendance, who were rewarded with some interestins racing. Several surprises occurred during the afternooHj as a result of which some sensational dividends were paid, the victory of Uenuku in the York Welter returning the good.price of £64 10/, while the winning donbfe, Cenukn and Eoch Fyne. paid the phenomenal dividend of i'SO. «/. Mr K. B. Lnsk officiated as judge. Mr A. Kohn as timekeeper, and Mr C. O'Connor as starter, the latter jentleman being in good I form. As on the two previous days, the j conducting of the meeting by the secretary (Mr .1. F. Hartland) and the various oftk-iaj? left nothlns to be desired, eveTyj thing passing off as befitted a metropolij top. gatheiing. ' Mr T. King had charge of the catering, which was carried out In hie I well-known style, while the City Band. I nudm- Bandmaster John West, played a ! choice selection of music on the lawn. With fine weather prevailing, and large , fields, it was expected that the totallsator j returns would show a substantial increase !ou last year, and this result was obtained, : the machines under Messrs H. H. Hayr I and Co. handling the sum of fIS,S-3. which |is an increase of £_779 for the correspondI ing day of 1906. This, added to the amount registered on the first two days. I makes a total of £50.9_5. aa against £43.956 ! 10/ last year. an increase for the meeting lof £6937 10/. After the running of the York Welter. [ the stewards considered the running of j Uenuku as compared with his efforts on the first days of the gathering, but after 1 hearing the statements of his owner to ■ the effect that the reversal of form was as big a surprise to him as to the public. I and that his total investment was 10/, acj cepted the explanation as entirely satis- | factory. i Particulars of the later racing are:— ' THE CAITPBELL HTT.DLE RACE (HAS- | DK'aPi of onosovs: second horse to rei eeive 3.">sovs and third horse losovs out ! c.f the stake.
