Tho Canterbury District Committee to-day heard an appeal by Mr. 11. G. Paul against the decision of the South Canterbury Jockey Club in disqualifying his horse, the winner of the Duke of Gloucester Cup, decided at Wasktiyko on May # 15, on tho grounds that Paul, who rode the horse, did not hold a gentleman rider’s certificate. After hearing Mr. C. W. Webber, who appeared as counsel for Paul, and Mr. C. L.
