Aa awkward mistake (says Hippo) was made at the late Petsne Race meeting, which may cause the Cub some trouble to settle to the satisfaction of all concerned. The race was open to all horses that had never won a race of over £4O in value. Now Mr H. 0. Caulton, who had taken a trip to Auckland, sent iostrnotiona to his trainer to enter and run hit hone Expelled for any race at the meeting he thought he had a chance in, The horse was therefore entered, started in, and won the Sailing Race, end afterwards told according to the conditions of the race for 16 guineas. It was afterwards found out that the horse was not eligible to start in the mm, he having won two races of over the amount. Hearing of this tha owner of the third horse put in a claim for the stakes, and a protect against the second horse lor running under a wrong name. Now, Mr Caulton very naturally says “HI am not entitled to the stakes, you must give me back my horse,'' But be has been sold, and to do this the Club would bare to pm chase the hone at the presept owner’s valuation, which might be a great deal more then he gave tor him. Should they do this, and award the race and stakes to the third horse (who was entered to be sold for nil), they might then claim the right of Selling the horse, as the whole of the proceeds of the sale would go to the Club, but then the owner might say, “ Here are five isralisator Mbets I bad on the horse, I certainly enMBd him to bo sold lor nil, but then I inftftlied to put a fiver on him, so that if he won Mt dividends would make up the value I put a very awkward case Mt the Club to settle. Of course, they could •Sgua oatheir side that they were notreeBonsibletormlstakMmade by owners. The matter has however been refined to the MeirapAUtM fencing Club,
