BOOKMAKERS v. RACING CLUBS. Yesterday afternoon tho Appeal Court w-as occupied in hearing tho bookmaker’s case, Pollock v. Saunders, a tost case brought to decide whether racing clubs have a right to exclude bookmakers from the course during race meetings. Mr Jollicoe appeared for tho plaintiff, J. H. Pollock, and Mr Gully for tho defendant, representing the Feilding Jockey Club. The facto are that tho [club notified that they wo.uldnot admit bookmakers to their racemeeting on December 2nd and 3rd, 1896. The plaintiff bought a ticket and went on to tho course in the ordinary way, and afterwards began betting. Ho was warned, but refused to leave, and was ejected from tho course, Mr Jollicoe said the case was a special one removed from the Supremo Court, and though nominally brought by Mr Pollock against tho Feilding Jockey Club, was really one between theßookmakora’ Association and the Associated Racing Clubs of the colony to finally and definitely settle the question. The case will be continued to-day.

Mr W. Davis, trainer of Strathbraan, in* tends taking tho son of Apremont to Dunedin this week to fulfil his engagements at tho Dunedin Jockey Club May Meeting. Strathbraan will compote in the big Money, in which ho has been allotted Bst 121 b, top weight, and also in the short distance event on the first day.
