NEW PLYMOUTH RACES

AMMON RA WINS STAKES VERTIGERN IN PAUL MEMORIAL STEWARDS TO CONSENT (By Telegraph—Special to ‘‘The Star.") NEW PLYMOUTH, Feb. 14. Mild summery weather, with only a 1 ift.hr breeze stirring the tings, ruled for the opening of the concluding programme of the Taranaki Jockey Club’s autumn meeting. Though light rain preceded the first event, indications were for favourable conditions. The attendance was again good and the tracks were in fast order. For careless riding in the Hurdles, and causing interference with Tenacre and Denier, L. Jarvis, who rode Omeo, was suspended for a month. Following are the opening results: —

Running to the straight entrance, Royal Acre hit the front and past the stands piloted Full Mark, Denier, Goblin Market, Tenaere, and Omeo. Going into the back, Tenaere moved up, with Royal Acre in the lead, but made a bad jump at the half-mile, where the order was Royal Acre, Tenacre and Full Mark in a bunch, with a big gap to (Goblin Market.
