GOOD SPORT AND GOOD WEATHER DUAL WINNERS' BIG PART jewel Pointer, Florent, Sister Beatrice and Padlock /10NDITI0NS all round could not have proved more con t genial for the finish of the Otahuhu Trotting Club’s Meeting at Alexandra Park yesterday. The large crowd a Cn favrrab r i e e ated t 0 SP ° rt and the -s

N"0 fault could be found with the general management of affairs. The various officials carried out the duties pertaining to their respective offices in a manner that left nothing to bo desired. Team w ork, under the able organisation of secretary Absolum, was a feature of the business. Mr. A. G. Mabee again attended to the judicial side of affairs. He found occasion to question the driving of S. August after his exhibitions with geatty and Holly Boy, as a result of which the reinsman was warned to be more careful in the handling of the ribbons for the rest of the day. Business at the totalisator was brisk, jnd had it not been for the small fields in the two principal heats, the deficiency recorded would have been wiped off. The sum of £44,012 was handled for the day, a decrease of £1,046 10s on the second day last vear when the tally was £45,058 10s. The total for the meeting was £96,778 ms, compared with £100,965 10s last year, a decrease of £4,187. The racing was interesting and finishes exciting, a testimony to the work of the handicapper, and as a further tribute to his ability favourites with two exceptions failed to gain a first place certificate.
