The third and concluding day's racing of the Auckland Summer Meeting was held at the Ellerslie course on January 2, when there was again a splendid attendance of the public. Although there were three mishaps in the Steeplechase there were, we are glad to say, no dangerous injuries received by either riders or horses. The most severe fall was that of A. Ellingham, who was riding Chemist. Having drawn up to the brush hurdle at the back of the course, Chemist did not rise, but crashed blindly into it, turning a complete somersault, and throwing his rider very heavily. Ellingham was promptly lifted up and brought to the stewards'room at the grand stand. As he was suffering great pain, it was feared that his hip was broken : but upon examination by the medical gentlemen who were present, Drs Hooper, Lewis, and Purchas, it was found that he had received no injuries beyond a severe bruising The following are the results of the races:— Grandstand Handicap of lOOsovs; second horse to receive lOsovs out of the stakes.
