RACING. <Ey '•A-.-iiilles. 1 ') CASK. MLaT lit! KU-OFENED. In the aatwr «.:' tho appeal of •hii.an, a jockey, a gains I his d.Mjualiheation on a ciuuv;.. <,i w.Uul.v ».!jl-i!g Xappor in tho Ka.toko Haci; llt.iu,t.ii, the judge* uppomud by the- flawing Conleiency repurti-d that objection to Jjiluiu'a ridiag i.lio horse Xappor iu th? Kaitoko Hurdles o'J -May lit was mauc by the stewards of tho Wangauui •Jockey Club on their own motion, and that tho ground was that tho jockey liad hod used Lis best endeavom-s to win the race. A nice-ling of tho stewards was called io c-.iii--iu.-cr whel«-;cr or not tho jockey had properly rwkien tho horse. In iiheso circumstances was the plain dtity of the su-«aids to notify the jockey of tho nature, of the charge, in order to afford hiiii an opportunity to hear the tv;dcr-.co and t<i defend himself by osliin<r evidence- iu his own behalf. These requirements, which were essential to the just, administration of tho racing laws, had not been observed. Tho judges continued: —Wo are of opinion that the inquiry was irregularly conducted, and that the decision of the stewards cannot bo regarded as a. valid determination and objection, and .must be- sot aside. We direct that tho matter bo remitted to the stewards of the club, so that they may notify tho Jockey of tho specific objection against him, and the time and place where | such objection shall bo heard and conBidered. Without indicating an opinion aa to tho merits of tho case, which hare not come under our consideration, but eolely to guard against possible injustice, we direct that the disqualification of Julian bo suspended, and is inoperative until the charge against him is regularly dealt with by tho stewards of the Wauganui Club." GEXERAL NOTES. Consequent upon 11. M'Grath shifting to Melbourne, First Consul has been handed to X. Williams to prepare for future engagements.

A sM-ong '.vail continues to go up in tho Old Country in regard to the decadence \it huiSi-manslnp. In concluding ii.i'. aiticlo on thu suhjecfc a loading .Loudon writer penned the iolh™ing:— " There is no denying tho dearth of itrst-class horsemen at the present time, and it is humiliating tx> think that th-e two IwiSD arc ' loroiguers,' if, indeed, that description bo admissible in respect of an American and .m Australian. It is a woeful adnuss.oii of decadence, and diihcult ttj account for, but none the. less uhallmigea eontradiotiyn." The American and Australian riders respectively placed at the head cf the . list are i). ALaher and F. \Y cotton.. It is nearing 20 years since* Fred. Asrcher, the greatest horseman of the IStli century, disappeared from the scene, and the Old Country is apparently still a very loug way off from producing a man up tj> anything like hie standard.
