SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

At Napier to-day one M’Guire sought to recover from H. Cohen, proprietor of a totalisato'r used at the late meeting of the Napier Jockey Club, the sum of L 3, being the amount of a dividend paid on one of the races. Plaintiff was on the winner, but neglecting to apply till next day payment was refused. Defendant’s counsel contended that the Jockey Club should have been sued, as Cohen, who had the totalisator, was employed by them. The Magistrate upheld the objection, and nonsuited the plaintiff, with costs.
