: \ OTAHUHU RACING CLUB'S ANNUAL I ' * * MEETING. *. t The'• Otahuhu Racing Club's : annual race meeting was held "at * Otahuhu yesterday • afternoon, and passed off very successfully,; f, the attendance being larger than usual and t ; the sport interesting. Mr. V. D. Yonge, the . club's secretary, and his follow eofficers, did 1 all that was possible for the comfort and , convenience of patrons, and conducted tho afternoon's Tracing in a manner that left no •'< loophole for complaint. " Mr. R. L.Absot lum acted a3 judge, Mr. ,C, O'Connor as starter, and Mr. H. B. Massey struck off the times for the races. The programme Y covered ? seven events, the principal item - being the Otahuhu Cup Handicap, for which - the starters numbered six. The horses jump- - ed off before the starter gave the signal r and ran the best part of the distance, the ; result being that those animals short of con- ( dition suffered when they were finally de- . spatched on the mile journey. Bonomiana ) was one of the 'first into prominence, and I • quickly taking up the running, the daughter 3 of Soult was equal to holding off all chal- » lenges and winning by three lengths from Lucrece. The details of the racing are as 1 follows: — b 1 HANDICAP HURDLE RACE of 15sovs. One mile I and a-half. „ : -, Mr. E.-Watson's b g Sterling,' aged, bv Regel —Pearl, 9st 51b (Phillips) ... ... ... 1 ; Geologist, aged, list 51b (Barron) ... ; ..: 2 .
