TROTTING.
LARGE FIELD IN RACE. EXCEPTIONAL STEP nTAKEN. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 16. The extent of the field engaged in the Mangere Handicap next Saturday, 22 horses being on the limit, formed the subject of consideration by the committee of the Auckland Trotting Club at a meeting held to-day. The committee decided on a draw of the limit homes for positions at the post. The same is to be made to-morrow and the result of the draw is to be immediately posted. The committee further decided that any owner who may be dissatisfied with the position drawn can withdraw his horse and that the full amount of the nomination and acceptance fees will be refunded. It is especially stated by the committee that the action taken in connection with the Mangere Handicap must not be regarded as establishing a precedent and that the • departure made is only for this particular race and only for this occasion.
