A Masterton telegram states that the football club has decided to send a team south at Easter, playing the Merivale Club at Christckurck and the Alkambra Club at Dunedin. Exile was scratched for the Anniversary Handicap at 130 p.m. yesterday. At the annual meeting of the North Otago Coursing Club, the balance sheet showed a credit balance of over L6. Mr J. Cameron was elected president, and Mr S. Barton hon. sec. It was resolved to open the season on Easter Monday, when an all-nged stake and puppy Btake, both at L 2 2s, will be run off. J

According to the Gore Standard, a Gore syndicate, fell victims to. the bogus consultaV tionist who has been arrested in Sydney trading under the name of "G. Adams." The syndicate forwarded to "G.; Adams" a Ll2 10s cheque for 25 tickets, addressing them to the bogus consultationist. Soon after, the manager of the syndicate was somewhat astounded on receiving from " Tattersall" the following cable, "Stop your cheque, L 7 10s!" Last mail brought the explanation in the following letter, which has been placed at our disposal :— " Our reason'for cabling you was because a person, who has been trading on our name for some months past; has just been arrested by the police here, and among the paperß found

on him we have just seen your letter re cheque £or Ll2 10s, addressed to ourselves. "We go to the expense of wiring in order to protect you, if possible; and we shall be glad to learn by return mail that you have stopped payment of the cheque." . It is almost a matter of superfluity to add that the Gore gentlemen took immediate and successful efforts to stop payment. • - -
