An English sportsman, who successfully backed Duke of Sparta, Lutteur 111, and White Eagle to win this season's spring treble, wrote to tho London "Sportsman" stating that his "system" of selecting winners pointed to tho King winning the double, Two Thousand, and One Thousand.

At a committee meeting of the Wellington Eacing Club held yesterday, it was decided to remove the disqualification imposed on C. Chesternian; of Hastings.

Chesterman, in whose nomination the horse raced, and the jockey T. O'Brien, win was in charge of the horse. , ,
