Feilding Jockey Club's Spring Meeting.

Seoond Day. The enthusiasm of the sporting public was as keen as ever for the second days races Early in the morning tbe streets were filled with visitors arriving by the various trains. The special from Wellington also added considerably to the number. The weather was fine, but unfortunately a cold'wmd was blowing throughout the day which made matters somewhat uncomfortable. However, the ground under foot was dry. Tbe course was slightly heavy in the early part of tbe day, but im proved as the meeting advanced. Tbe speculations were good and like wise the majority of the dividends. The local horse, Apiti, topped the score in the Rongotea Hack Hurdles, paying £17 4s. Tbe figures are very creditable when taking into consid eration tbe unfavourable weather for the first day. Tbe total investments for tbe day amounted to £10,991 making a grand total for the two days of £21,600 which shows a de crease of £750 upon the correspond ing meeting last year. The Feilding Band were present throughout the meeting, and enlivened the proceedings with some excellent music Fortunately the meeting passed off without any serious accidents. W. Miller the rider of Valima in the Cheltenham Hurdles met with an accident from a fall at a hurdle in the race. He was taken to Trevena's boarding house and attended to by Dr Willis, who reports that he was severely shaken, and was suffering from a broken nose.
