WALLA WALLA BEATEN.

INJURED IN MATCH RACE, WORLD RECORD BY WORTHY QUEEN. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, April 4. The Metropolitan Trotting Club’s Easter meeting ended to-day. The weather was fine and the track was fast. The attendance was excellent, and the totalisator investments were £36,218, compared with £24,163 10s last year. The total for the meoting was £7b,031 10s, as against £52,018 10s, an increase of £24,013. Tho match race was disappointing in that Walla Walla met with a mishap. After going half a mile the field punched and he put a foot through Jewel Pointer’s sulky wheel, damaging the foot rather badly. From this point Walla Walla dropped back and no longer had a chance in the race. Results: HARVEST HANDICAP, of £2OO ; 3.32 class.
