GRAND PRIX DK PARIS. The Grand Prix de Paris was run at Longchamps on Sunday, and resulted as follows : M. Arnnud’s Doge ... ... 1 M. Caillautt’s Roxelanc ... ... 2 M. Stripp’s Parasol ... ... 3 At a meeting yesterday of the Auckland Racing Club Committee the Takapuna Jockey Club Committee applied for permission to hold a race meeting on the 22nd inst. without a totalisator. It was decided not to grant the request. The South Island Trotting Association met at Christchurch last night to consider the appeal of J. Loughlin against the disqualification of himself os rider of Count and of the horse by the Canterbury Trotting Club for twelve months on account of suspicious riding and running in the Winter Handicap and of the owner’s subsequent refusal to allow the horse to be ridden by the club’s nominee. The appeal was upheld. The owner stated that he had backed the horse for £4O, but Count was an unreliable starter, and refused in the present case to start. In over fifty betting cases against cash bookmakers at Sydney fines were imposed yesterday ranging from £3 to £5.
