APPEAL UPHELD. A statement affecting the placings in a race at the-Greymouth meeting on October 31 has been issued by the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association. ■ At the Greymouth Trotting Club’s meeting on that date. R. Jameson, driver of Great Worth, in the Gieseking Handicap, was lined £2O for careless driving, thereby causing interference with the second horse, Millie Wrack, but the Committee was unable to decide that the interference affected the result. An appeal was lodged by the part-owner of Millie Wrack, Mr. J. Bourke. The decision is released in the following statement:— “The appeal is upheld and the judge’s placings reversed; Millie Wrack placed first and Great Worth second. We are of the opinion that the interference was not deliberate; and further, as Mr. Jameson is the owner of Great Worth and Will .suffer’ the penalty of losing the first stake, we resolve that* the fine imposed by the club be reduced to £lo.’
