This was that the race was “ for hacks other than maidens at the time of starting the race.’* Whatever ; the intention of the club in framing , the condition, its effect seems clearlv to render ineligible horses who were in ; hack class when the nominations closed, but who subsequently rendered themselves ineligible for hack events. It prevented Haere Tonu and Imperial Spear from running in the event. Had their trainers known the position : earlier, they could have accepted for ■ other races yesterday, in which these horses held engagements. R A CT vr; riXTT’RKS. Maroh IS—Wellington R.C.
