The first day's racing of , the Summer meating of the Taxtenaki JockeyClub was hold on Wednesday, 'in fitne weather. There were a) large number ofi people present and investment cat the totalisator, was brisk, which is .demonstrated 'by the ifact that whereas £5117 (was put through last year; £6484 was . handled this year. The double totalisator was not very , popular £361 being invested thereO». The racing throughout was, good, and accidmts were pleasingly feny.. The only one was in the Burdies, 5 " Black Banner coming down. The (hind legs of thd .horW'were Badly sHaineiPj but Cochrane, the rider, was (not seriously hurt, and was applauded loud-, ly as he rode up . «to . the, .paddock. One olj Belches patient hurdles was uspcl in the Hurdles, being situated, in front of the grandstand ; and tnougl*' the riders were in favour; of the hxvrdles, -they state that having only one patent hurdle and five' of.HhV;ordinary kind makes the race uneven, and does not give' tfo patent hurdle a fair trial. The catering arrangements by Mes : srs Thomson and Angus were all that could be desired, and commendable efforts were made in the publican's booth (run by Mr E., Whittle) to cope with the trade in the small space at the disposal of the lessee.
