THE TAURIKI CASE.

After ft long and exhaustive inquiry the committee of the Takapuua Jockey Club have arrived at a decision in connection with the now celebrated Taurikl ease. The committee have held numerous sittings, and voluminous evidence lias been taken, and it will be seen that the finding gives evidence of careful consideration. The finding, which was unanimous, is as follows:— "The committee of the Takapnna Jockey Club, having taken voluminous evidence, and carefully aud fully investigated the question raised by Mr A. McMillan, owner of CyrenJac, with respect to the mare Tauilkl. which was declared to be the winner of the Maiden Plate Pupuke and Welter Handicaps at the club’s winter meeting of 1908, unanimously find as follows:—That J. Grant, In whose name Taurikl was recede Is guilty of a corrupt practice by supplying false information at this inquiry, and the committee disqualify him during the pleasure of the club. That S. Darragh la guilty of a corrupt practice by supplying false luforiuaiion at this Inquiry, aud ths committee disqualify him during the pleasure of the club. The committee award the stakeh won by Taurikl, viz., the Maiden Plate end Pupuke Handicap, to the owner of the second horse, Cyrenlac, and the stakes won by TauriW, viz., the Welter IlMtfUcap, to the ewuer of the second horse, Tul Cakobaq. The commit! has been delayed in arriving at ft decision, owing chiefly to the persistent failure of Mr 8. Darragh and Mr J. Graat and their witnesses te appear and gire evidence when notified tfii do so.
