FEILDING JOCKEY CLUB’S MEETING.

IMPERIAL SPARK CAPTURES EASTER HANDICAP.

DENBIGH HANDICAP TO RATIONAL.

TJie Feilding Jockov Club’s Easter meeting was brought to a conclusion yesterday, the weather being gloriously fine. There was a very largo attendance, and as on the first day the meeting was admirably managed throughout. • The favourite division did not have a good day, only two being successful, Great Day and Rational. Large fields wore again seen out, and the finishes in nearly all the events were closely contested. The starting of Mr W. Price, with the exception of two races, was good, while Mr J. Cameron hoisted the numbers to the satisfaction of everybody. In the absence of Mr J. E. Henrys the handicaps were compiled by Mr W. Russell.

After the contest for the Kimbolton Hurdles tho stipendiary steward, Mr Wilson, had C. Mason, rider of Mountain Bell, before the stewards for cut-ting-in too quickly, thereby interfering with Sottano and Euchre. The outcome of tho enquiry was that Mason will have to stand down for a month. Appended are details of tho racing:—
