RACING SENSATION.
MAN DISQUALIFIED FOR LIFE. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 1. A special meeting of the Canterbury District Committe was held yesterday to inquire and take further evidence in the case of Joseph Nohra, of Reefton, who was alleged to have tampered with D. Cotton (jockey) and R. McLellan who was in charge of the horse Moorland on the West Coast during the last 1 Christmas and New Year meetings. The committee found that there was nothing to shake the evidence of Mralland and Cotton that they were approached by Joseph Nohra to pull Moorland nor was there any ev.dence to implicate McLellan and Cotton as having been parties to any fraudulent intention. The committee, therefore, unanimously found Nohra guilty of a corrupt practice and disqualified him for life.
