HAWKE’S BAY.

NAPIER. Monday. The executors of the late Mr. H. J. Holder sent up Powder King for sale on Saturday. There was not much bidding for the son of King’s Guest and Gold Powder, who was purchased by Mr. C. E. Twist, of Greenmeadows, for 29 guineas. At the same time a couple of horses in Maralma and Glouria, in the bankrupt estate of Mr. E. H. Barrett, were put up for sale, the former being knocked down to Mr. Munro, of Pakowhai, for 10 guineas, Glouria going to Mr. J. Walker, of Taradale, for 9 guineas.

A well-known local resident was arrested at the Napier Park racecourse on Friday on a charge of totalisator betting. The police took charge of his books and papers, and the case will be heard this week at the Magistrate’s Court.

At the Napier Park race meeting on Saturday a trainer was found to have obtained an owner’s ticket and handed it to a private individual, who gained admission on it. This was reported by a stipendiary steward. The trainer was summoned before the judicial committee and fined the full penalty of £2O.
