INCREASE FOR DAY

Though a strong wind was in evidence, the weather continued fine for the concluding day of the "Wellington Summer Meeting on Saturday. The track was again fast, but the wind prevented times quite so good as on the earlier days. The investments were £83.004 (£35,115 win, £47,889 place), against £76,291 (£31,706 win, £44,585 place) last Anniversary Day. For the meeting the total was £174.272 (£77,366 10s win, £96,905 10s place), compared with £188,826 (£81.540 win, £107,286 place) twelve months ago, when Anniversary Day and the Saturday were separate, a decrease of £14,554.
