D.J.C. RACES

CUP DAY AT WIK6ATUI A HEAVY TRACK PAPER SLIPPER WINS PUBLICANS' HANDICAP During the past few years the Dunedin Jockey Club has not been lucky in respect of good -weather for its fixtures at Wingatui, but its experience this week has been its worst turn of the wheel of fortune. Early this week the prospects for a most successful meeting were the brightest. The largely increased stakes had attracted goodclass horses in the principal races, and the course had never been in better order at this season of the year. The rain on Tuesday night gave it just sufficcient moisture to taJke any sting out of the going, and it would have suited all the horses engaged, but the downpour on Wednesday afternoon and night saturated it, and early yesterday morning the committee wisely decided to postpone the opening day. The weather then cleared up, and the good drainage now installed on the course helped it to' dry up splendidly, but unfortunately rain fell again last night and early this morning, and made the course heavy for to-day’s racing. A very heavy shower fell in the city about an hour before the programme commenced, which prevented a large number of people going out. At Wingatui much less rain had fallen than in town, and the meeting opened in fine weather, but a cold wind from the south made it unpleasant. The attendance was good considering the weather, and the going heavy. WARRINGTON HURDLE HANDICAP, £150; second 22, third 8. IJm. 4-S—ROYAL SAXON, Mr E. W.
