TURF RESULTS.

THE WHANGAREI R.C. SUMMER MEETING. The Whangarei Racing Club ■brought off the summer meeting on Friday and Saturday last. There was ■a very large attendance, quite a host of sportsmen going up from Auckland, while the country folk attended in great style. 1 -* The result must have been an almost record attendance. Mr. Dent, the secretary, had all the arrangements properly fixed up, and everything passed off smoothly. Complete success, was somewhat marred by the paucity of the fields in point of numbers, and it ■seemed a pity that owners should have so overlooked the fixture, which is always a particularly pleasant one. The only incident of note during the meeting was when Lady Lanta fell in the First Hurdles, Pope getting a nasty fall and a broken collar-bone. In the Second Hurdle Race Horn’s riding of Catch-’em was considered suspicious enough to warrant an enquiry by the stewards the result being a twelve months’ .suspension.
