RACING AT PAEROA

TAUMARUNUI MEETING. Abbess of Whitby Wins Juvenile The annual meeting of the laumarunui Racing Club opened at Paeroa to-day and will conclude on Monday.

In the run to the post Abbess of Whitby drew out to win by seven lengths. A Good Dividend.

Erination, Prince Vai and Valorous were first to show out, and passing the stand Erination was leading Valorous, London, Lord Vai, Prince Vai and En Tour, with Street Dancer and Royal England well back.

There was little change into the straight, and Erination went on to win by three lengths from Valorous, who beat Prince Vai by three-quarters of a length. En Tour, Lord Vai and London were next, with Royal England and Street Dancer tailed off. The winner paid over a score on the win machine. A Close Finish.
