PROTEST UPON PROTEST.
DUNEDIN, Jan. 4. Bather an unusual thing occurred at the Clutha races on Wednesday. The Novel Eace of 15 soys was won by Uncle Tom, but the owner of the second horse entered a protest, as the horse was not owned within the Club's boundaries. The owner of the third horse, on that protest being sustained, entered one against the second horse on the ground that the mare had not been owned for one month prior to the meeting. This protest was also sustained by a majority of one, and Charlie, the third horse, received the stakes, paying his backers a dividend of MO ss. The affair caused great dissatisfaction, as the owner of Charlie is a prominent member of the Club, and he took part in the consideration of the protests.
