SURPRISE WINS.

FAR LAND SCORES.

Te Rore to Day Wind.

The Waikato Racing Cluli's summer meeting is being concluded at Te l!a)>a iu jine though dull weather. Ilioie is again an excellent attendance, and the track is in good order.

Two inquiries were held on Satin da} evening by the judicial committee of the YVaikato " liacing Club into incidents which occurred in connection with events during the running of the club's programme at Te Kapa.

The first inquiry related to the tailing of Nuclei (11. Uoldlinch) in the Juvenile Handicap. After hearing the evidenceof W. .1. Broughton, the rider of Barricade, ('. <ioulsbro, the rider of (iirl Pat, and A. Tinker, the rider of Bachelor Kin<r, the committee resolved that it was satisfied that there had been careless riding, but that the evidence was not Hufliciently clear and definite to determine who was responsible. It was therefore unable to take any further action.

There was an inquiry into the action of King Tlieo in losing his position in the Beerescourt Hack Handicap. Kvidence was l>v W. J. Broughton, the rider of King Theo, and H. W. •Savage, the rider of 'Jadger. The committee decided that the interference that occurred was unavoidable, and that no blame was attachable to anyone.

A further inquiry which was held this morning into the falling of Sliy in the Storey M"inorial resulted in the judicial committee finding the fall to lie acci<lt ntal. It was due to the fact that Tiger (iaiu. who is a hanl puller, got on to tlie heels of the leaders and cannoned on to Velocipede, who in turn i. urn | «•<! into Dark Shadow, the lastnamed colliding with Shy, who lout his rider.
