Thompson) went over the big fences, jumping well and going twice round. Seaman (F. Lind) and Koknko (R. Horne) were associated in a spin over the hurdles, the former showing to much better advantage than hi-, companion, Ncdra (R. Thompson), Silver Cluse (E. Murtagh), and Outlander (L. Hegarty) jumped six hurdles, Outlander giving a very poor display of jumping. Hill Lass (K. Thompson) and Dorando (L. Hegarty) went twice round over the big fences, the latter pleasing most by his jumping. Sphinx went six furlongs fast.' Gaelic, Hautcre, Okaihau, Eastwind, Antarctic. The Native, Euroco, St. Gate, Amber and AVhitc, Moirctte, Silver Rose, Sweet Breeze, Handsome Afaid, Overtime, Tonderghie, and several others did useful work. SOUTH AVAIRARAPA TROTTING CLUB MEETING.
