OTAHUHU TROTTING MEETING.

The opening day's racing in connection with the Otahuhu Trotting Club's summer meeting took place at Alexandra Park on Saturday last. The weather was perfect, and there was a large attendance, who were rewarded with some excellent racing, one event resulting in a dead heat, while the big race of the day was only won by a head, which reflects great credit on the work of the handicapper (Mr. F. W. Edwards). MAIDEN TROT HANDICAP of 30SOVS. Distance, one mile. T. McWade’s b g -Manxman. 6yrs., 10s (Wade) 1 C. Baker’s ru in Elba, svrs., 13s, (Baker) ? 2 C.
