WELLINGTON SUMMER MEETING
SILVER RING'S HIGH-CLASS EFFORT
INVESTMENTS SHOW A PLEASING INCREASE
The Wellington Racing Club's Summer Meeting was successfully carried through ils second day at Trenthain yesterday, when there was improved ■weather and a good attendance for the off day. Despite the immediate sequence of the day?, enforced by the circumstances of the late King's death, the fields were of very satisfactory dimensions and the racing was well contested, though some of the victories were comfortably achieved. The performance of Silver Ring in winning the Wellington Racing Club Handicap was the effort of a truly great horse.
Early in the clay it did not appear as if the club's hope ot an increased turnover would be fulfilled, for there were declines on the first four races, but after that the betting was in considerable advance of last year's pools, and the day ended with an increase ' of £1820 10s, more than half the decline that had been experienced on the opening day, when the club was deprived of ils holiday.
