SPORTING.

The AVanganui Jockey Club’s summer meeting, which concluded on Saturday, was most successful. The totalisator turn-over was £IO,OOO higher than last year’s. Icing, second favorite, won the Earle Stakes at AA’anganui, with the favorite, Tiger Gain, second and Lowenberg third. S. P. Sheild, rider of Tiger Gain, was suspended for a month for interference with The Buzzer. The Herries Alemorial Cup at the Te Aroha meeting on Saturday was won by Stretto, who established a course record, 2.17 4-sth. Courtcraft did not run up to expectations in the AA’aihou Handicap, finding the impost of 9.6 too high to foot it with Royal Bachelor and Suleiman, who finished first and second. The totalisator revenue at Te Aroha showed an increase of £2686 10s over the first day last year. PRESIDENT’S HANDICAP TO JONATHAN. TE AROHA, This day.
