There ' were some extraordinary scenes at the Miramar pony races on Saturday. A protest was lodged against Petronel, winner of the Cup, owing to alleged "interference. The stewards dismissed the protest, but disqualified 1 Todd, the rider of Petronel, for the remainder of the meeting. Sirrah, who had run earlier in the day, won the Newtown Handicap. As the horse passed the post there were howls and shouts from the bookmakers, demanding an inquiry, .The stewards met and disqualified Sirrah and ordering the bookmakers to pay out on the second pony, Billy. Tlie supporters of Sirrah uproariously demanded their money back from the bookmakers, an appeal which fell on deaf ears. Flying Wind won the Tramway Handicap, and again the bookmakers shouted for an inquiry, as the result of which the stake was awarded te Paul, who had run second. This was the signal for a further outburst, tlie club’s officials being jostled and pushed about by the. crowd. The police assisted the stewards to reach a. place of safety.
