A RACING APPEAL.
AUCKLAND, December 2&. The following are the grounds for the decision of the Conference in the Poverty Bay Club's appeal:— (1) We are of opinion that it Was open to the Hawke's Bay Metropolitan Committee to hear the appeal to them, inasmuch as Decly was sentenced for "not riding his horse out," which we decide to be a question of opinion, and not " a question of fact," under rule 7 of part 31 cf the rules of racing. (2) That in view of the difference in distances and weights in the two race:in which Andrew Mack and Tarina met.. and in view of the performances of the two horses, their form in these races could not be'regarded as inconsistent cv suspicious. f3) That no confirmatory evidence' has been produced tending tt> show any motive for Deary's alleged malpractice. Wo there r Core concur in the decision tff the Hawke's Bay Metropolitan Committee, and dismiss the appeal of the Poverty Bay Turf Club in all particulars. We direct the deposit in this case to be returned. (Signed) George Clifford, E. C-V Earle, Geo. Palmer.
