DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB.

Thied Day. / [jfßOil OTJR OWN COBBBBPONDHNT.J DUNEDIN, Dko. 1. Handicapper—Mr G. Dowse. StarterMr H. Gonrley, jun. The finest day of the week was Saturday, when the Spring Meeting of the Dunedin jockey Club was concluded. The raoing waa the best of the meeting. Clarence, who is improving every day, won the Hurdle Kace in good style, but Barmby failed under hia heavy impost in the President's Handicap, which fell to Marino, whose consistent ilMortune repelled the public, evea though Derrett had the mount, and enabled hie fnehcfa io secure a good dividend. Tae finish for the Novel Bace was so close as to be entirely a question lor the judge. The Glasgow Plate might h.»ve gon? to Gjpay Grand had M'Uroy not tempted unsuccessfully to get through ■■•/. ott the inside; and though Quiltiri again started badly, he won the Grand Stand Handicap comfortably in the best time of the meeting. Marlin, in the Nursery Handicap, showed marked improvement on her previous form, and the same must be gaid of Hippomenea' performance in the Final Handicap. The latter event was followed by an inquiry whether Hippomenea should not be deprived of the 'stakes owing to his having dropped tis lead bag while pulling up after passing the winning post, and its being recovered by the olerk of the course ■. .and handed to one of the owners of the , '•> horse, who placed it on the scale with the jookey. The objection was dismissed after ■-■- a long consideration. The trot was a very easywinforDuoheßß. Thetotaliaatoriuveßtznents for tbe day amounted to £6070 10a, ■: a^ainat Je6126 on the corresponding day Jaab year, and for the meeting .517,268 10s, against J817.716 for the previous spring meeting.
