DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB.

(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) DUNE DIN, May 24. The weather was beautiful for the second day of the Dunedin Jockey Club May Meeting, and being a holiday there was a good attendance. The course being in better order the racing was more interesting than on Saturday. A protest against Mauser in the St. Clair Welter lost a good deal of time and delayed the conclusion. The owner was able to convince the" Stewards that the difference in the going and in the weights and class of horses j accounted for his display as compared with hifl running in the Tradesmen's Handicap on Saturday. The amount put through the totalieator was £6259, making £10,185 10s for the meeting, or £682 more than last year. Results :— SECOND HURDLE HANDICAP, of 60 sove; second 10 eovs from the stake.
