"WAIMATE. "September 21. The Wainiate Racing "Club Held its hack meetiug under' decidedly disadvantageous circumstances. Tlie heavy'"rain whidh set in overnight, kept up continuously djtriiig the day, a.nd had the effect of converting the track into a perfect quagmire, llieie was only a meagre, but, under the circiußS'tances, a safcisfaciory attendance. After the second trot the bookmakers present stated that they did not intend to pay out on the winner, but subsequently gave way and met liabilities, which on ni£>ny courses wOUld have been cancelled by the s-tewaords. There was apparently a good deal of reason for dissatisfaction, and the club officials were very lax in not holding an inquiry into the running of the race.
