DUNEDIN.

OaTnaru races a success —Good starting —T- Buddicombe and J. Loughlin before the stewards—Euroclydon training on—Death of an old steeplechaser. The Oamaru races, last week, were very successful; plenty of speculation, but small dividends. Totalisator receipts were £2OO in excess of last year. H. Piper’s starting was a great success. T. Buddicombe and Loughlin got into trouble over the Hack Pace, through the running of the second horse, Nomad. It appears Nomad was steadied on the post, allowing Rothamstead to Win* The rider of Nomad and trainer of Rotham stead bad to interview the stewards regarding the result. The case was adjourned for fourteen days. It is really about time something was done to prevent the big amount of collusion that has been going on in Otago for some time past. Euroclydon is doing daily work and progressing favourably. He may likely start at our Birthday meeting. Hero, a local steeplechase horse of fair quality, and a winner at our Hunt Club meetings a few years ago, died last week. He was a sure jumper, but not fast enough to be classed with the good ones.
