THE D.J.C'S ULTIMATUM TO MR STEAD.
The following letter has been handed to us for publication '•— Dunedln, July 2, 1890. G. G. Stend, Esq., Christohurch. Dear Sir,— Your letter of 34th ult. waß duly received and considered at a meetlug of my committee held last night, and I am instructed to say, that while you make a pretence of bowing your " neck to the yoke," your letter is in reality only a gross exaggeration of your previous charges of corruption against the olub's handlcapper and a particular stable, and condoneijeut by the committee of this club ; to gether with additional insults and assumed dlotation which has already been too long permitted. I am further instructed to iuferm you, that unless you unresorvedly withdraw all such imputations, charges, and insults before Saturday, 12bh inst., the club's handicapper will immediately thereafter be required to resign his office, or bring an actiou in the Supreme Court to clear his character. If this latter course is adopted it will supply you with a tribunal for amplifying those " startlingly circumstantial statements," and proving the fitness of your quotation from Lindsay Gordon.— l am, sir, your obedient servant, Sydney James, Secretary Dunedin Jockey Club.
