TROTTING RULES.
TO THU EDITOR. Sir,— Being a visitor to the Taieri meeting, 1 would like to ask a question iu regard to it. Dexterina was driven in harness. I am given to understand that the Two-mile Trot was not optional; therefore, why was Dexterina allowed to start in harness ? And what is more, why did the totalisator accept such money on Dexterina, seeing that if she had won the investors would have no. chance wha'ever of getting their dividend ? Hoping in future the rules will be strictly enforced and trotting carried out according to the programme issued—l am, etc., Apld Lang Syne Dunedin, April 6 [Oar correspondent is labor ng under a mistake. Unless a programme piovides that certain events are for “saddle” only and' others “ in harnes,” it is optional whether the competitors be ridden or driven.—Ed. E S ]
