APPEAL DISMISSED
TROTTING DRIVER’S GRADE ECHO OF EASTER MEETING ( Per Press Association.| CHRISTCHURCH. June 20. On the second day of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's Easter meeting the Flying Handicap was contested by only six horses, and at the efid of a quarter of a mile, Icevus (R. Young) fell and brought down Evicus, who seriously interfered with Rocks Ahead. The bracketed horses, Big Author (M. Holmes) and Willow Wave- (O. E. Hooper) finished first and second. After the race an inquiry was held by the Judicial Committee and it was decided to reduce M. Holmes to a D grade driver, the effect of which ruling was to debar Holmes from driving in races. Holmes appealed to the New Zealand Trotting Association against the decision. The appeal was heard in committee to-night and was dismissed.
