Hewitt for impertinence, tho stewards .took prompt fininghim £!,] Hewitt gave notipo of appeal to the Metropolitan body* ■ '"'.v'-v It is estimated that tho small army of bookmakers at Wairacte handled at least as much as the machine" The club, unfortunately, has no power, at present, to keep tHera off the course, but has decided to take immediate steps to t oxcludo themin future. \ Destruction wan to have been, taken to the Masterton Meeting, but whilst doing a gallop on tho Hutt training tracks, lie collided with another horse which was carelessly allowed to get on the tracks. The impact was a severe om?, and the rider of Destruction had his collarbone and also his arm broken, and had io be sent to the Wellington Hospital. Mr Paterson's colt got a severe shaking and will require a short respite from •' work. An eye witness states that it is marvellous how the horses and rider escaped fatal results. J.. B. Williamson, the well-known Auckland trainer, was one of the'victims of the recent poisoning contretemps at JPaeroa, His expert knowledge of physic enabled him to come to his rescue. He also prescribed in the case of two members of the police force. Owing,to a mistake on the part of the totalisator people, at the Taranaki Jockey Club meeting on Thursday, evidently done by reckoning ten shilling tickets as full tickets, they made a serious loss in the first event of the meeting, paying out £4 8s in the Stewards* Handicap instead of £3. The loss was not discovered until ifilOO had been overpaid. At tho Mastorton races last week a protest was entered by Mr N. Nee, on behalf of the owner of Hatloy, against Maui, winner of the Opaki Hack Handicap, on the grounds that the latter'had won more than <£200 in stakes prior to August Ist last.

Macara, approached too near Riflemaid, and the animal kicked him in the abdomen, rendering him unconscious for a short time, and bruising him. The Masterton Ambulance Corps, who wero present throughout the day, pro* ceeded to the spot and administered the necessary treatment to the injured man.
