-♦» ■ BOBRIKOFF AND MERRIWEE. PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. Auckland, December 3. Bobrikoff has been scratched for the Auckland Cup and Railway Handicap, and Merriwee for all engagements at the A.R.C. meeting.
" Augur " in the N.Z. Times to-day says: TJie 1909 spring gathering of the Feilding Jockey Club was distinctly successful from almost every standpoint. The starters aggregated 17P for sixteen exents, averaging slightly better than eleven per race Qii the tirst day, and ten on the second. This club's programmes are among the most judiciously framed in the Dominion, for in every instance the stake distribution wisely makes provision for an adequate reward for placed horses. Some other clubs might with advantage take a leaf out of Feilding*s book and increase the amount to be taken ' out of the stake. for runner-up and third place getter.
