A WRONG DISQUALIFICATION.
Preat Association. Electric Telegraph Copyright. Wellington, June 20. The judges appointed by the New Zealand Racing Conference to hear the appeal of J. Christian against the decision of the Greymouth and Reefton Clubs disqualifying the horse Killarney for the hurdle race at Reefton on March 27th have come to a conclusion on the matter. They disallow ■ the technical objections to the appeal, and find that the rules which prevent the entry or running of a horse while the owner is in the unpaid forfeit list cannot be extended or interpreted so as to require or authorise striking such horse out of a race, because at the time when some intermediate payment falls due the owner is in the unpaid forfeit list. The judges allow the appeal, and dirtct the Reef ton Club to pay the stake in the race to the owner of Killarney.
