Thfira was plenty of work to bo-seen at the Forbury on Saturday morning, nearly all the horses exercising on the outside of the course, which, in epito of the perpotual rolling, is rather rough, and was a bit soft in consequence of the drizzle that had prevailed ' during the night. The first to appear were Wayland and Dormeur, who dashed away from the bsck of the track for a sixfnrlong spin, in which Wayland came gamely under the whip, and appeared to be upsides with his mate at the finish. Next came Wolverine, this Gup candidate putting in a strong two-mile gallop by himself, and moving with greater freedom than usual. Pique merely cantered. Don Cseiar and Lady Mab were apparently well matched; they did a mile at their natural pace, and were together all the way. Waitangi galloped two miles in good style. The spin of tha morning followed, this being a gallop over the Cup distance by Hilda and Occident, with Assyrian King to bring them along in the last mile and a»quarter. The firstraentioned pair were not at top ppeed all the way, but the pace wag a sound one throughout, and the spectators could not make out which had the best of it. Assyrian King was the first home, bnt he had only been part of the course, whereas the others bad their wind well tested. Garibaldi was distinctly the master of Mon Loup at a mile and a-balf. Corio and Dunrobin cantered, and Trimolite put in a serviceable gallop twice round. Forest King had no f rouble in beating Leinster at a mile and a distance. Tempest was in the humour for galloping, and was in front of Gazelle after a mile spin, both baating Mariner. Cissy and Blizzard went tha eama distance r>t Blizzard's best pace; and the last spin that I saw was one in which Dispute wottted Warlock. Mazeppa.

DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB,

A meeting of the committee of the club was held on Saturday evening. Present—Meesrs Btephenson (chair), Qourley, Hazlett| Mills, Fleming, Wilson, Driver, Meenac, Philp, Taggar!;, and Maclean.

In reporting the programmes for country clubs which had been approved, the Secretary stated that he had had to return several not yet approved, as they did not comply with the rules of racing.

The Secretary reported that he had received an affidavit in due form from the nominator of Joe I. at the last Spring meeting, stating ttat the nomination was true in every particular, and that the stakes had now been paid over.

The report of the Plumpton Committee, in which they stated that they had arranged the programme for the coursing meetings of (ho season, and recommended that the club vote them the sum of £30 as added money, was received and adopted.

A sub-committee was appointed to take steps to prevent tha laying or taking of totalisator odds through the medium of tho machine at the Antumn meetin;;.

It waa resolved that the race privileges be sold B3 usual on Thursday, 19th; also that the services of a band or bands bo secured, this being referred to the usual Band Committee; and that the tender of Messrs C. F. Meyer and Son for the catering for the ladies' room for the year be accepted, subject to several minor modificatioiiS,

• • {Vbding reported thst same of the stock agents intended to bold their usual v/eekly sale on Cup Day, it was resolved—" That a deputation, consisting of Messrs Rlettian, Hazlett, and Wilßon, wait upon them to get them to alter their determination."

Tha following new members were elected: — Blessi* Baring, Fassel, D. Riohardson, E Alien, J M'Kay, Joel (jun ), W, Wood, H. Rosa, James {Smith, find J. M-lachlarj,

The Wanaka Jockey Club wrote stating that as their stewards resided at some distance away they had not yet boen able to consider the question remitted to them in the club's letter on the 29th January.

The Town Clerk intimated that by instructions of his Worship tho Mayor tho usual holiday would be proclaimed on Cup day; and a communication from tho banks stated that this would be attended to as uaual.

Several letters were received thanking the committea for the use of the park for Sunday school and other school picnics. An application was received from Mr Morrison (manager Mosgiel Woollen Factory) for the use of the park for a picnio of tho factory operatives and their friends on tie 7th March, and this was granted, ■ A circular letter from tho Colonial Secretary's oflice regarding the programmes forwarded by several of tho small racing clubs was received. The circular dealt chiefly with the question of not sufficient added money being given to comply with rule 22, and the amount received from the sale of winners of novel races, which was deducted before granting the totalisator liconse.—The Secretary reported that ho had spoken to Mr Carncross, H.H.R., secretary of the Taieri Amateur Turf Club on thin matter previous to his going to Wellington. Mr Cam

cross had kindly interviewed Mr G. S. Cqoper, the Uuder-secretary, on the subject, and in cousequence thereof ho (the secretary) had written a letter to Mr Cooper containing a schedule of steps to be taken by the clubs previous to application for totalisator license, and this lottor aud schodule had met with tho approval of the Programme Committee. Briefly put, it was that clubs must give enough added money nett to comply with rule 22 after the usual 5 per cent, for expenses had been deducted and that in case of two selling races on one day, tho first only should bo computed na part of tho added money, and in case of a novel race, only one-half of the amount of the race should be computed as added money.—The Secretary explained that although the Colonial Secretary had in several instances deducted the whole of the amount of the stakes in novel races, experience proved that less than one-half of such amount was received by the clubs. —The action of the secretary herein was approved by the committee.

The Winton Club, in a- letter dated sth February, forwarded the following resolutions, with particulars oE the case:—"That Fred C. Ward, of Wyndharn, be disqualified from nominating, running, training, or riding horses for five years, for malpractice afc the Winton race meeting, held on May 26,1890—viz., that he entered or caused to bo entered a bay mare, The Virgin, under a fake name — namely, Norab, as a maiden, the said maro having won two races previous to winning tho Maiden Trot at Winton; and that Thomas B. Mortimer, of Gore, be disqualified for five years from entering, running, riding, or training horses, for malpractice at the Winton race meeting, held on May 28,1890, said Thorass B. Mortimer being owner of a mare named The Virgin, and allow knowingly said mare to run under a false name— vis., Norah, and knowing same to be false, also as to boiog other than a maiden; both these disqualifications to date from 2nd February 1891." It was resolved—" That the disqualification of Fred C. Ward aud Thomas B. Mortimer bo | endorsed by the Dunedin Jockey Club."

The Maoiototo Club forwarded a protest receivad from S. Q. Inder, owner of tho horse that raa second to Shotover Jock in the three mile and a-half trot of that club on the 24 th January 1890, against W. M'Kay (the owner) and W. G. Mouat (the rider), to the following effect: —" That the horse was nominated by W. M'Kay as a maiden when he had previously run at Christchurch under the name of Bachliou and won several race 3." The committee of the Maniototo Club, after hearing evidence, decided that W. M'Kay (owner) and W. Gilbert Mouat (rider) be disqualified during the pleasure of tbe olub. —It was resolved—"That these disqualifications be endorsed by tte Dunedin Jockey Club."

ROWING.

The annoal race rowed by the Otago Rowing Club for the Ravensbourne Challenge Cup, presented to the club by the Saltwater Baths j Company took place on Saturday afternoon. Although the weather was vary threatening, the water waa everything that could be desired. The Swimming Tournament at St. Clair and the Cricket Association's Cup matches took away a good many of those that would otherwise have been there. At 3 o'clock, the first crew to leave the shed was the Cam, stroked by H, Buttery* ortb, the style of this crew being very much admired. Tho Rob Roy followed, stroked by F. Mitchell. This crew, having trained assiduously, were the favourites, and from their form convinced the onlookers that they would be the likely crew. The Lurline's crew, stroked by C. Butterworth, seemed ever-trained, and thi3 was proved by their position in the race. Mr Deehan go 6 all the bolts away to a capital, start. Tbe Cam was the first to forge ahead, and maintained their lead of a length for over a quarter of a mile. The superior training of Mitchell's crew soon told its ts3e, a3 at halfway they were on level terms with tho On, the LurJine beinj; quite oat of it. A splendid race ensued between the leading nomei, rosuinug m a win for the Rob Roy. Mr M'fjowan kindly acted as judge. The course was the usual one: from the Red Beacon to the Tongue wharf: — $ Mitchell (stroke), Tufaroa (3), Muir (2), Kammond (bow), Davie (cox) ... ... Hob Boy 1 H Btittorworth (stroke), W Bdraond (3), H Matlae»on (2), II Hallenstein (bow), Davie (cox) Cam 2 O Butterworth (atroke). H Park (3), W Hodgklns (3), D Bows (bow;, Macaasey (cox) ... Lurlino The club has picked F. Mitchell (stroke), Rochford (No. 3), W_. Bdmond (No. 2), M. Oook (bow) to represent it sgainci the Tioiaru Rowing Club's crew, who are comiDg down at Easter. It is to be hoped our crew will go in for some good training, as it is reported that the Timaru men are working very hard to carry off the race. A Wellington telegram states that the Wellington Rowing Club's and Star Boating Club's crews, who take part in the Christchurch regatta to-morrow, wera passengers by tho Mahinapua. Wo are requested, to remind owners that nominations for the Palmerston Racing Club's spnroaching meeting close this evening at 7 30,
