At a recent trotting meeting at Bichmond, Melbourne, one of the winning riders ■was a veteran 70 years of age. On the same course, on August 27, Mrs Kelly, who comes from Western Australia, succeeded in landing her trotting mare, Creole M'Kinnoy, a clever winner in a field of 20 in the £IOO event for unhoppled trotters. She has had a good deal of .experience in riding in trotting races, and recently won a trotting event at Drouin on the samo mare. Mrs Kelly, who was loudly cheered, had to survive a protest from the rider of the second horse, rlaroldista, on the ground that she had ridden'' at a trotting meeting not registered by the V.T.A. .The stewards dismissed the protest, and also ordered that the deposit oi £5 lodged with it bo forfeited.
