WINTON TROTTING CLUB.

A .SUGCESSEUL FEETIXO. The annual racing fixture of the above club was hvhl on Hie Wiulon Racing Club’s course yesterday, tbc grass training gallop being reiiuisllioncil for tbs occasion. The convincing area chosen bad been specially prepared and provided a fair racing surface, with the result tliai t lie re was some good racing and fairly fast travelling. The track was somewhat bolding', owing lo rain overnight, hut this did not prevent these rate hj horses getting up to participate in the prize money in several of the events. The weather was dull and threatening, hut the rain hold off well, and there was a good attendance, the gate receipts amounting to £44 Is, as against £33 Is at the corresponding fixture of last season. As a totalisator permit was not available, speculation was indulged in per medium of seven licensed bookmakers, whose fees aflcircled a return of £3O l:",s to Hie dull. The fixture wa-s undoubtedly success till from (lie points of view of sport and finance, and should result in a profit, despite the fact dial Die slakes were (his season increased by £SO. The secretarial deparlment was under the control of Air W, A Saunders, and bis connection with Hie gathering is a guarantee that the racing machinery worked smoothly, while tile starting was ably conducted, and l-landieapper A. Jones had every reason to lie pleased wilii the outcome of his efforts, ns favourites even 1 anything but successful throughout, and it might he said that in not one case did an even money chance prevail.
