DECISION DOUBTED.

When Gold Light arid Nigger Minstrel were bracketed as deadheat for first place m the Eclipse Stakes at Wanganui, the .big majority of people were ■ satisfied. - However, the writer of a Southern paper was not, and he reckons the decision should have gone to Nigger Minstrel. "Truth" was thoroughly m accord with the judge's decision of a dead-heat. It was absolutely impossible to. say what was the winner, for it was one of those cases where the judge alone could tell. . The respective owners of the two great horses, Messrs. W. T. Hazlett and T. H. Lowry, were sitting together .during the race, and at the finish each Jbhought his horse had won. Both jockeys were, of the opinion that a dead-heat was the only decision.
