RACING SCA.NWALS. In a letter to the Taranaki Daily News Mr Oliver Samuel says:— "±iow to secure honest 'iding and punish offeaders has for a long time been a source of grave consideration to aill saving the conduct or race meetings throughout the woi Id. Even where the number of those qualified hy experience to form a correct judgment as to the run-iing of a horse is large, and there would appear no reason for difficulty in obtaining efficient supervision, whaf ; are termed 'racing scandals' frequently oci cur, and there are few meetings at wh : ch a large number of 'the public' are not found expressing strongly an opinion that ther3 has been one or more glaring instance of 'crooked' running unpunished. "Exaggeration is usually almost necessary to give force to argument, and i think that the New Pfy mouth racecourse is no more subject to shortcomings in this respect than the other racecourses in this colony, or indeed elsewhere. 2s o one who is familiar with the subject can fail to call to mind very numerous cases ia which the running of horses at other courses has caused eqaally strongly ex pressed dissatisfaction; and the howling and hooting of disappointed speculators in the totalisator and the betting ring ore frequently heard wherever races are held. This is, however, only by the way, and I makes it ail the more necessary that some improvement should be effected, and all who are not willing that ra;ir.g should either practically cease or fall into the Hands of dishonest men, and thus become a source of danger to tha community, should carefully, and if possible dispassionately, consider the subject, . and enj deavour to bring about a better state of things. In comparatively small communities the difficulties are very great indeed. For instance,' at New Plymouth we have ffcw 'sporting men,' and it has hithoiTO been found impossible to secure for stewards a suificient number of men. not pecuniarily concerned in the racing, who have such a personal knowledge of racing as to enable them to detect 'stiff running,' and at the same time are able to take a cool and unbiased view of what takes place on a racecourse. Most rin accustomed to attend race meetings fancy they can tell by watching a raoe whether the horses are 'oji the job' or not. and are quite ready to single out one or more as having been 'pulled' or 'run stiff' — espetialily if they have previously to the ra'ie picked out a winner and found themselves mistaken — but it will be found that :n: n ■ most cases they differ in opinion as to one another's knowledge and ability. Sd much so is this the case that in few small clubs are Ibera any three men whose com bined ability and trustworthiness is not doubted, and even scoffed at, by the majority of ths community. Again, most of those who have experience in such affairs are more or less pecuniarily interested, and thus their taking the office and discharging the duties of stewards is open to grave criticism. ' The result is that the stewards at most race meetings do not include a sufficient number of men qualified to keep a proper supervision over the racing and to detect and punish offenders Taking our own club for instance, the majority of our stewards and committeemen do not profess to be experts at all, or to have any confidence in their ability to deterniine whether a horse, if ridden by a finished horseman, is or is not ridden to win. lam myself of this number, and, altnough a can see a 'pull,' I do not for a moment doubt that a skilful and coolheaded jockey can easily deceive me, and appear to me to be riding to win, when he is actually doing just the reverse. I fear that 99 in 100 are just as incompetent in this respect as I am, though no doubt most fancy the contrary. Even amongst those few who are generally regarded as able to form a correct opinion, differences of opinion are so frequent that implicit reliance cannot be placed on any. Take the Second' Welter Race, to which you and your correspondent, 'Lover of True Sport,' particularly refer. Probably, our judge, Mr A. W. Budge, will be generally admitted to be a most reliable expert. He gave evidence that he was closely watching the running and riding of the horse objected to, and that, in his opinion, he was well ridden to win, and no fault could be properly found. Yet mere wer& others who were of exactly opposite opinion. It is not merely a legal maxim, but a rule of honesty and sound sense, that if there be a reasonable doubt the benefit of that doubt must be given to the accused person, and thus after : every inquiry at which opposite opinions are expresed, unless the evidence on the '. one side greatly preponderates, the disappointed speculator in particular and all ( tho&e who take the opposite view to that i adopted by the stewards, are inclined to, ] and too often indulge in, strong condem- ' nation of the conduct, and frequently in 1 unworthy imputations against the character of those whose decision has been the ' only one at which honest men could under ; the peculiar circumstances have arrived . at. It may be that occasionally stewards are unfitted for the duty of deciding on . the evidence — as they unquestionably are to decide by mere personal observation — whether a horse is 'run to win ;' but my experience is that they usually at each ', inquiry endeavour to ascertain the actual facts as well as they possibly can, and do- ' cide accordingly. The two greatest dan-gers-are, I think, that, having formed an opinion beforehand as to which horse should win, they are naturally prone to seize hold of some reason for his not doing so which does not involve the acknowledgment of their own mistake; and that thsy are to much influenced by the expressions of opinions of outsiders ("tue public'), whose only dissatisfaction as a rule arises from the fact that they have backed the wrong horse and lost their own money, instead of, as they hoped to do, winning some of their neighbpurs'. "At each meeting of the Racing Conference this subject crops up in the shape of a proposal for the employment of Stipendiary Stewards. It is invariably admitted that what is desirable is offiVals beyond suspicion and of great experience and knowledge, who shall be available at each meeting to (practically) decide as to the riding and running of' the horses. But the difficulties in the way of the establishment of such a system are that, seeing that meetings are held in many parts of the colony on the same days, several such stewards would be required;, that their duties would be so disagreeable that few iif any) men of the requisite position and standing, and possessing proper qualifications, would actj and that the qualifications for the office are so,, exceptional that it would be almost impossible to secure the services of such stewards— even if they were paid salaries beyond which the racing clubs could afford to pay. "I would appeal to those who desire to see a better state of things exist to consider the situation, and to join in endeavouring to bring about an improvement. A large majority of those who are managing the affairs of the Metropolitan Club are not directly or indirectly pecuniarily interested in racing; some would much prefer never to attend a race meeting at all. These later give their money and their tune only because they recogmsa that racing is a sport of which New Zealanders are fond and in which they indul~e, and that, if properly managed and regulated, it is in many respects beneficial, as well a* pleasant, and that the holding of race meetings in a district materially increases the prosperity of the district, and is by far its most effectual advertisement. We do our best to prevent racing from becoming a source of evil, and falling into the hands of "that undesirable class of the community which lives on the credulity and the greed of its fellow-men j and whilst we admit freely that we have not been altogether successful, wo still persevere, notwithstatviinp adverse comment and discouragements. Our club is open to all respectable men (I do not remember any candidate being yefc rejected) ; the ' subscription is not. larger than is requisite io provide the management machinery; but we find it oitfi,cult if\ get suitable men to/hold office, and are anxious to have more available. If those who desire to maintain . Tracing do not assist us to do so, and we find ourselves forced to admit that we see no prospect of being otherwise than unsuccessful, we shall be compelled to relinquish the task, and the result will no 1 doubt be tho winding up of the club, the sale of its property, and the end of racing under supervision at New Plymouth."
