Visitors for the May meeting—The The D.J.C. and totalisator investments —Motion for the Racing Conference —The Oamaru entries. Dunedin, May 22. There is a fair number of visitors in town for the races, commencing to-morrow, and .there is every promise of good fields, but the weather unfortunately is threatening, and the course is very heavy. Mr Solomon has altered the name of his colt by St. Clair —Vaultress, from Volt to Banquo. The D.J.C. intend taking money in town for investment at Wingatui, as they passed the following resolution at the monthly meeting “ That the secretary be authorised to appoint an agent to take charge of the town office, and receive money for investment on the totalisator at the May meeting next week.” It was resolved to give notice of motion for the Racing Conference to add to the rules the following:—‘‘lf it be proved to the|satisfaction of the stewards of a race meeting that a jockey has broken his engagement to ride without due cause, it shall be in. their power to punish him by fine, suspension, or disqualification as they think fit.” The Oamaru Club have received, exceptionally good entries for their two days’ racing to be run next week. . . «•
