The Boxing Day-Meeting of the Johnson villc and Hatt County Trotting Club was, on all sides, admitted to be the best meeting the club has yet held. The management was excellent, and no hitch occurred during the trotting, which,was said to be the best ever seen in Wellington. , Good fields started in all events, and there were some very close finishes. The ' Palmerston North horse, Sparrow Hawk; won the Maiden pretty comfortably, with 20sec start, and was well backed for the principal event of the meet ing, in which he had 50sec.

Tuesday, on the contrary, seemed to revel in his work and went in better style than he has shown us hitherto. He had his field well beaten at two miles,"-and romped home in 9mia osecfrom Gipsy;. 45sec, who was the only one besides the winner to finish. Nita, the pony who won the Harness Pony Bace, is a little nugget, being only 12 hands high.

The Joker appeared to wake up in the District Handicap, for nothing had a show with him. The stewards wanted the difference in his form explained, but after a short inquiry expressed themselves satisfied that there was no cause for action. Mr T.
