CONCLUDING DAY. SUBLIME WINS A DOUBLE. Beautiful weather again favored the Gisborne Racing Club for the. concluding day of their .summer meeting. Tliere was a fairly large attendance and speculation was again brisk, the sum of £8899 going through the totalisator, against £6621 for the corresponding day last year. The total for the meeting was £17,773, compared with £13,296 last year. The arrangements were very satisfactory, and Mr Dodd, the secretary, carried out liis duties excellently.
