The Assessment Court sits at Greytown to-day, Mr Riddiford, of the Hutt, imported by the Bingarooma two pure-bred Arab stallions, from Bombay. The New Zealand Times says, another unsatisfactory feature in connection ivith the latci race for the Wellington Gold Cup has come to light in the fact that Mr Knight, tho owner of Lara, descended to the black-mailing process in connection with sweeps. He, or at any rate lub representative, waited upon the gentlemen who had drawn Lara in North's sweep to give him to understand that unless £SO was paid him Lara would not start. The holder of the ticket, feeling himself in 'Mr Knight's power,''agreed to pay tlie •money. It is : not all gold that glitters. Out of a £4OO prize £SO went to " square". Lara's owner, and £4O for commission to the manager of the. sweep. The glorious uncertainty of the turf i 3 only equalled by its questionable morality. [The statement has subsequently been proved to be altogether unfounded.]
