SPECIAL TELEGRAMS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUNEDIN. Ist December.
A special meeting of the Cattle Board was held to-day, to consider the advisability of prohibiting importation of stock from Europe. A telegram from the Superintendent of Canterbury was read, stating that the local board favor prohibi.tipn. It was resolved that application made to the Governor to exercise power vested in him under Section 29 Diseased Cattle Act, 1871, and to exclude all stock from being landed in New Zealand from Europe, pending the disappearance of disease now prevailing there. The hurdle race was the first on to-day's programme, and was won by Kildare, with Pakeha secondhand Mistletoe third. The Maid of the Mill, who staited a firm favorite, fell, seriously injuring the rider, Williams. Pakeha lost a length at the start. For Presidents' Handicap, Tambourini, the favorite, was scratched at post, and only King Philip and Colino started. It was won by King Philip, who held the colt safely, though it was nearly lost at post by Colino, who had been a long way behind, creeping up.
