On Saturday Tangi gelding and Mokoia were galloped a mile and three-quarters at top—top in so far as Taugi gelding was concerned. La Kose compassed a similar distance at half speed, and Captain Cook and Fairy Maid went twica round at a good rate, as did also Shifnal. St. Ives went seven furlongs steadily, and then raced an additional circuit attended bj Wolverine and Lady Constance. St. Swithin was sent twice I round at three-part speed, and Dispute negotiated a like distauce at a Mower rate. A Wellington telegram states that to-day being Anniversary Day will be observed as a close holiday. Tho Island Bay races, regatta, r.nd Druids' sports are t the principal attractions in I town, while there will be numerous excursions to the country. Tho regatta and sports are expected to attract a large gathering, but the races appear somewhat flat. Russley is the I favourite for the Cup. W. Beam, of Wellington, competed in tho I Good-bye " Handicap for all beaten men at tho Grafton regatta, Now South Wales, on January 3, but he could only gain third place. G. Ashwood (feather) was first, J. M'Kinnon (101b) second and Hearn (301b) third. Three others started Ashwood won by two lengths, but a great struggle took place betweeu M'Kinnon and Hearu for second place, the former just winning. The New Zealand representative attributed his failure to having au inferior boat, which ho sold ' while at Grafton for £20. j A most elaborate article ou the working of the I totalmtor is givi-n in the Lake County Press as the re.Milt of observations made at the recent rrankton meeting. It appears that £207S whs invested, while the total paid out it, dividends /was.i'lß-13 19*, showing that £235 Is had been deducted as commission. But as the 10 per cent commission charged would only amount to A 207 18s, there is a balance of £27 3s unaccounted for, which must consist of sums under Is which the totalisntor people do not pay—quite ft nice little sum to act as au indemnity against paying too much. The net average profit to each winning investor for the whole meeting was £1 3s 4M, while the average dividend (which must not be confused with that) was £3 12s 9d and a fraction.
