THE SOMBRERO CASE.

DUNEDIN, September 1, A meeting of the Dunedin District Committee was held- in the Dunedin Jockey Club's offices this morning to consider the .Sombrero case. Mr ,1. A. Hyincr's horse Sombrero ran al the jßivcrton Easter Meeting. He started twice on the second day. When he went lo the post for the Farewell Handicap ho was in a lather of sweat, and ob viously groggy. He fell in flip race and died. Portions of the horse's internal organs were sent to the Government Analyst in Dunedin. He found arsemo ■in considerable quantity, and came to the opinion that 'death was due to arsenical noisoning. The race was run on April 2;lth. On July 18th the Riverton Racing Club held an. enquiry as to the cause of the horse's death.' A motion was proposed that Alex. Chisholm (practising at Otautau as a veterinary surgeon) and Thomas Ambrose (a stabio lad in Mr Hymer's employ) were blameable for the death, and that they be disqualified for life. A;n amendment to the effect that Ambrose was the guilty party, and that he be disqualified for ten years was not seconded, A further 'amendment, and the penalty in the original propostion 'be reduced to threo years, also found no seconder, The motion was then put 'and lost by 5 to 3, the chairman (!)r Trotter) 'not voting, though in favour of it, as he said it would still be ii to 4. As the club did nothing the stipendiary steward (.\li(.l, E. Curry) look up the case, and gave reasons to the satisfaction of Iho Stipendiary Stewards' Committee that the decision (or wont of decision) of the Jiiverlon Club was unsatisfactory. This committee I hereupon remitted the case to the District Committee, with instructions lo treat it as an appeal, This was the question before the District Committee, The whole of the evidence was laid before them in writing, and evidence was given by Mi Curry and l)r Trolter, ami it was resolved lhat Chisholm be disqualified for life and Ambrose for live years. Mr Haitian dissented from the convicting decision on Iwo grounds: (I) That as the Riverlon Club did not come to any decision there was in law no appeal; (2) that the evidence was not properly before the District Committee, and there was nothing to show that the witnesses were properly examined by the Riverton Club.
