LAKE RACING CLUB’S MEETING. On Saturday last there was a large attendance at Mackay’s Paddock, at Taka puna, to witness the racing provided by the Jjake Racing Club. The sport throughout was most interesting, and a most delightful day was spent. Mr Knight’s handicapping brought about some close racing. Mr R. Duder wielded the starter’s flag and came through the day with flying colors. The secretary, Mr Harry Massey, worked very successfully to bring the meeting to a satisfactory conclusion, and his efforts were well backed up by the stewards. Mr Alec Phillips had a turn of welldeserved luck, his colors being borne to victory by his new purchase, Thurlspot, old Knight of Athol, and the pony My Lord. The details of the racing are as follows : — Handicap Maiden Plate, seven furlongs. Thurlspot, by Tim Whiffler, 8.7, Ryan ... 1 Progee, 8.7, Whitehouse . 3 Shooting Star, 9.0, Mclntosh... ... ... 9
