An Auckland telegram says that the Committee of the Auckland Trotting Club met last night for the purpose of considering the protest lodged by A. E. of Nelson, owner of Rarua, who finished second to Brandy in the Auckland Trotting Cup, against the stakes being paid over to the owner of the latter, on the ground that the horse Brandy had performed under another name in Sydney. The Stewards postponed the consideration of the protest for a week, in order to allow Mr Green to produce evidence in support of his protest. News has been received in Auckland from Sydney of the death of A. Sutherland, a well known jockey, formerly living in Auckland.
