NEW ZEALAND FISH.

Trial Shipment to Sydney Market

A Qood Opening

(Per United Press Association).

WELLINGTON, April 22. In order to place New Zealand fish on the Sydney market, Mr Miles went across with 30 cases, but as the auctions in the fish market take place at 5 a.m., only the middlemen attend, and the prices are not considered satisfactory, and Mr Miles is now arranging to sell direct to the public. t The supplies in Sydney are small and erratic, an* the demand is heavy, and the Department of Industries and Commerce consider -there is a good opening. The freight, doty, etc., amount to only 2d per lb, and prices run from ,4d per lb for mullet to lOd for flounders, soles, schnapper, warehou, and trumpeter.

The Wanganui Trotting Club's inaugural totalizator meeting opened to-day in anything tut favourable weather conditions. Sttady rain fell throughout last night, *nd continued almost without intermission this morning. About 10 o'clock there appeared some piospect of it clearing off, and the committee of the Club decided not to postpone the opening of the gathering. Rain again set in shortly after 11 o'clock, and continued steadily, with the result that the attendance was very materially interfered with, though ander the circumstances there was a very fair number present. The going was naturally somewhat soft, but still very good, thanks to the sandy nature of the soil, and the sport provided was of a high class, the fields being large, the racing good and the finishes in some of the events particularly close and exciting. The officials of the Club worked hard under the depressing conditions to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of their patrons, and the Result was that the programme was got through with the utmost smoothness. In this connection Mr Selby Morton (hon. secretary) and his assistants (particularly Mr R. Blythe) are to be highly complimented on the yery effficient manner in which they carried out their arduous duties.

A great deal of the success of the day's snort was due to the good work done by Mr J. H. Pollock, who acted in the dual capacity of handicapper and starter. The large fields and splendid racing were a tribute to the ability he displayed, in those capacities, and the Club is to be congratulated on having the services of such an expert at their disposal.

The luncheon arrangements wjpre in the hands of Dustin's Ltd., anct left nothing to be desired, while Mr Tom Nixon, who had charge of the publican's booth, was well patronised, the. quality of the liquors di«sT>en&?d meeting with approval. The Garrison Band, under Conductor A. Wade, was present, and enlivened the proceedings by some delightful music.

Messrs Neylon and Spriggens gave every satisfaction in their management of the totalisator, through which a fair amount of money was put. The ten shilling tote on the outside appeared to be very popular with the public. Several bookmakers were licensed, and were fairly well patronised.
