Per Press Association.

PUXISHMEXTS UNDER REVIEW.

WELLINGTON, This day. The Trotting Board mct to-day. The disqualification of J. Jeffrey and Good Oil hy tlie West Australian Association was endorsed. It "was unanimously decided to refuso the request of G. Grant for the removal of his life disqualification, forwarded by the New South Wales Club in connection with Prince Huon, shipped to Sydney in 1922. On the identity of the horse being established Grant liad refused to divulge any infonnation. Tlie previous decision with regard to Anselm being unplaced after starting off 72 yards, instead of 84, at thc Waikato meeting, was conlirnicd, the decision carrying authority i'or thc payment of stakes. Tlie club, however, is being askcd if it has any reconnuendation to make in view of the fact that tlie .iockey, wlio was fined £5, was not solely rcsponsiblo for the m'stake. Tho Forbury Park Club had no recommcndation to make rcgarding the applicatiou by Townley for a reduction of the £25 fine for crossing in the Otago Handicap. and Townley is to bc informed accordingly. In the case of Bennett, the drivev of Trimmer. who was fined £3 for undue use of tho wliip hy the Canterbury Park Club, the evidenee revealed that Bennett had not nsed the wliip but the. cnds of the reins, and the matter was referred back to the club with a suggestion for furthcv 0011 sidera tio n, as tlie evidenee did not iustify tho fitiding of unduo use of a wliip. v
