Autumn Meeting.

The autumn meeting of the Waipawa County Raoing Club was held yesterday, and attracted a good attendance, although the deluge of the two previous days deterred many from putting in an appearance. The going, though a trifle heavy, proved wonderfully good, and the lawn boro very little trace of wet. Messrs Merett and Fox put through the sum of £2846, which is £231 more than was put through last November. The fields were good, and some capital finishes were witnessed. Mr Alf. Wood got his fields away on even terms in tho majority of instances, while Mr S. McGreevy, jun., was prompt with his decisions as judge. The Maiden fell to Robin Link, Lord Bobs annexed the Welter, Pantaloon carried Mr IC.ing’B oolours to victory in the Autumn Handicap, and Mrs Crawley gained the judge's verdict in the Disposal Stakes. She was knocked down to Mr Sinclair, of Hatuma, for £26. Robin Link was again successful in the Stewards’ Hack, and Arcadia placed the Scurry to the credit of Mr Grooves. Lord Bobs was not to be denied in the Riversdale Handicap, and Blue River prevailed in the Hack FlyiDg. Mr Christensen provided a first class luncheon, and Mr Pellow had charge of the bars.
