THE TINWALD RACINC SCANDAL

THE CLUBS DECISION.

A meeting of tha Stewards of the Tinwald Bacing Club was held at Scott a Hotel. Tinwald, last night, to which Mcasrs John Oorbitt ard 0. fa«et had been summoned to attend to show cane^ why they should not be disqualified tor Hie on a chsrge of bribing T. Robs, a jockty, to "pull" Little Arthur in the Hurdle Bace at Tinwald on New Year's day.

The Stewards pretest were : Messrs D. Thomas (in the chair), M« bcott, G. James, E. Gates, J, Begg and Dr Tweed.

The meeting was called for eight o'olook, but It was half-past nine before the pro ceedings commeoeed.

Mr Cri<<p appeared on behalf of Mr Oorbltt and Mr Outhbertson appeared on bebalf of T. Bofb, the jockey. Mr Crisp said that be propoeed to call evldenoe to show that much of the testi mony that had been given against Mr Oorbitt wa»,untroe.

Mr Ontbbortaon objected to this proce dure. The Olnb had deolded that the charges had beeo sustained, and the pre Rent meeting was merely for the purpoie or affording Mr Oorbltt the opportunity of ihowlng oauso why he should sot be dis qualified. Considerable argument ensued wh!ch waa terminated by the Chairman taking a vote of the Stewards as to whether evi dence should be heard or not.. The matter was deolded in the affirmative.

la reply to the Obalrmin Mr OrUp Indicated the evidence he Intended to call, whioh wii to show ;i»t many of the thing! taid by the other aide were quite untrue.

Mr Orlip then called,

Charles Paget, who said that ha had a conversation with Boas on December 31. Prior to that conversation he never ■topped at Oorbltt's. This conversation was about Little Arthur not winning the hardies. Had rot seen Oorbltt (n town before th:a. Met Bos 9 again in the evening between 8 and 9. Oorbltt was not present either time. First saw Oorbltt about twelve o'clock ihnt night At Butler s hotel. The conversation wit ness held with Bobs that evening was in Scott's stables. Boss said that he wanted the money before the raoe, as he had been "bad" previously in working swindler. Eorari was to win, and wit ness only backed tbat hone. Witness was to have pat a poqnd-for Boss on Kxrarl, but did not do so. Wltsees gave Bobs £4 10a when ho weighed out. Saw him after the raoe tnd asked him why he didn t keep bis promise. He told witness that the owner of Little Arthur wns *t the back of the course, and besides he did not want luchkelth to win. Saw Boss In tbe evening at the Tlnwuld ball and atked htm for tha loan of a pnand, as be had ((broke" witness. He said that he had not a shilling In tha world. Witness never stopped a* Gotblu'a before ibe raoes. He stopped thsre for the first time on Wednesday night last. He did not stop there on the night of K^ox's dance. Witness oould not say whether Oorbltt was riding or driving on New Tear's eve. As far as witness was aware OorbUtbad nothing to do with the matter, nor did he know of it. Boss and Corbltt and wltneei never talked together la tbe Glab.

Much of the witness's evidence was a repetition of that given by htm at the last meeting of the Stewards.

To Mr Oathbcrtson : Witness did not know who owned the other horses In the Hardle race. He did not give the other jockeys money to •' stlfFon " their horses. Knew the steward of the Olob. Did not remember talking to the steward and Ooibltt on one occasion when Boss came , up. Witness would deny thit statement, wbloh was nntrne.

John Oorbitt knew Paget, First met blm about the end of December but only knew him as a oasoal acquaintance. Be never stopped at witness's pUoe prior to last Wednesday night, and the evldenoe •■ to this given by Robert Frlsby was untrue. Remembered the night of Knox's dance. Witness left there abont half past three In the.morning, and left Paget theve. He did cot come home with witnesci Witness drove into town on the night of Die. Slet, »nd|put his hones op At Scott's stables. He tben went ronnd to Andenon, the saddler's, and got a bag of harness. Witness took it ronnd to Scott's ■tables. He was not riding at all that night. Remembered seeing Paget and Ross about there, bnt did not speak to them. Scott was in a position to have esen everything that occurred. Witness then went down town, and oltimttely to Batler's where he saw Paget. Witneca offered to sell locbkeith before the race for the value of the stake and had subse quently sold he* for £16. Went to the Tlnwsld ball on the evening of the races. He saw Ross iv the bar of the Tinwald botel. Aiked him if he made any money and he said be had made a bit- Had no conversation with Robb after he went to the dance. Did not leave i£te room, bat tat down In the far end of j the loom most of the time. Bad no conversation with Ross exoept in the bar, and the evldenoe of Close was untrue. , To Mr Oothbertson: Witness baokei nothing Id the huidle isoe. George Soott, livery stable keeper, re membered New Teat's eve. Saw Paget and Ross in the stable that night, Oorbitt! whs not with tbem. Oorbitt c»me in j with a hone and buggy, and witness taw him coming in again with something which looked like a email bag and which, he put In the bnggy, Oorbitt did not speak £o Psget and Ruts in the stable. When htr had put the paroel in the buggy he walked over to where witness and a friend were standing. He spoke to witness and nil friend and they walked to the door with him* He then walked away, after without having spoken to Paget and Roe* who were than In conversation by one of the stalls. Witness remembered the date by reason of his brother-in-law, from H.M.& Opal being Ja Aubburton that oigbt. Did not see iJJr Oorbitt wh«n he first came into the stables. To Mr Oathbertson : Had seen Oorbitt and Paget together; had never seen tbem plating cards in the Club. To the Chairman ; Oorbitt's baggy was ' not In the stables all day. When Corbitt went away, Paget and Ross were there- Could not say when they left, or vrhat way they went but was positive they did not leave with Oorbitt. Isaac Eqox knew Paget. On January 8 hti WBB ** witness's plaoe all night at a dance, not leaving till five in the morning. He lived about ten chains from Oorbitt's place, and was frequently theee. Had seen Paget at Corbiti'a a few times To Mr OuthbDrtaon: Saw Paget at .Oorbitt's within the last couple of month*, ibut had never known blm stop there a night. Wm Johns worked »t Mr Frlaby'a •bout » quarter of a mile from Oorbitt s. Witness was at Kuox's danea, .and saw .Paget there. It was about fivo tf'^lock w £en Paget left. Saw Oorbitt dr'vlag Into Ashburton on New Year's eve b3 twesa 8 sad 9 o'olook, W. Jprown was at Kaox'a dunce on Jan Bth. PhMget WM there. Corbitt left •bout • coJipJa of hours beforo Paget. Witness never' J»w P'get on Qorbltt'a fgUee beto the Hororata races on Wed nesday list, A. Dee saw Oorbitt dtfvlne into town In sa buggy on New Fear'a eve betweeu eight .*nd nine. , To Mr Cotbbertson: Had no donbt tibat it was Dbc 31 jyh»n witness saw him. Alexander, a m»n whom it was si;tad Mr Corbitt drave Into lowa on. ihe night <of Dtts&saJber 31. wjw <j?.l!ed but did not appear, nor did another witness $&Had tor on behalf of Mr Ootbiti,

Xlie Stewards after loog cooiidetation re-

solved as follows : —" 0. Paget is found guilty of corruptly bribing Boas, a jockey, and is disquali6ed foi life. J. Corbltt is found guilty if being associated with F»get in corruptly offering a bribe to Bobs, a jockey, and is diequalified during the pleasure of the Oleb."

Mr CorbiM <n being acquainted with the Stewards' deoisiin asked why, if they considered htm guli'y, they bad not dis qualified him for life, lie did not: waut any leniency, and they should either have disqualified him for life or acquitted htm. The Chairman said that it thu dinquall tlou had been for life thera woold have been no oharjca of altering it, but us it now was Mr Oorbltt had an opportonUy, should fresh evidence crop op, of Laving it removed. The decision waa quite, in ao oord with the evidence.

After some further discussion Me Corbltt left the room saying : If you had been a lot of men you would either have dliqnilifiod me for life or acquitted me. Bat, yoo are a lot of old women, tha.'e what you are, the whole lot of you.

DREAM ARITHMETIC.

Mr C,K. Jeffs sends the following to " Mercutio " of the Auckland «• Herald " :— I will give you my own experience, and will ask you to solve the problem, "How did I get the figures ? " The facts are as follows:— oome twenty-five years ago or more I was in I partnership with a gentleman in district, acout midway between Wellington and Ahunri, on a sheep station. It was early in November, and we had been both of us out rousing the sheep up out of the gullies, and gettiog them together preparatory to mustering them for shearing. It was reiy late when we got home to ourwhare, and after a frugal supper of damper and bush pork, we retired to our bunks. 1 was the first to turn in. and dropped off to sleep immediately, The next nmorning said to me, " Charley how did you get those figures so accurately, for when I spoke to you again you were fast asleep." I told him that I did not understand him. What figures did he refer to ? •' Why, " " when we were turn ing in last night 1 asked you what, would be bur return if we clipped 2400 sheep with an average of 4 J£d lb of wool per fleece, at is 9d perlb, and without the least hesitation you answered .£945, and when I spoke to you a second after you were sound asleep." I told him that I had not the slightest recollection of his having put the question to me. I must: have answered him in my sleep. However, he was so struck with the probable accuracy of my answer that he made a note of it, and, on working it out, proved my answer to be correct. Now, I am not an adept in the art of figures, neither was I conscious of having had the question put to me. I have often thought of it, and up to the present am unable to solve the problem, • • How did I get the figures ?" As you appear to understand the philosophy of dreams, you may, perhaps, be able, at any rate, to establish a theory whereby this may be accounted for. There are many of the old settlers im the district to whom the circumstances were related. What is ihe most astonishing part of the whole affair is that our cL'p was seat home, and, when sold, netted exact.y £945'

;' Hoixoway's Pills.—Nervous Debility.— , No part of the human machine requires mo'e . watching than the nervous system—upon it hangs health and life itself. These Pills are the best regulators and strengthened of the nerves, and the safest general purifiers. Nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yield to them. They despatch in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic pains, fulness at pit of stomach, abdominal distention, and i overcome both capricious appetites and con- I fined bewels—the commonly accompanying 1 signs of defective or deranged nervous power. j. Holloway's Pills are particularly recommended ( to persons of studious and sedentary habits, who gradually sink into a nervous and debilitated state, nnless some such restorative be occasionally taken. Keating's Cough Lozenges cure Coug -Asthma, Bronchitis, Medical testimony state that no other medicine is so effectual in th cure of these dangerous maladies, On. Lozenge alone gives ease, one or two at an „ time ensures rest, For: elieving difficulty i breathing they are invaluable. They contai no opium nor any violent drug, Sold by a chemist at is a 6d each, 1



Mother Seigel's OPERATING PILLS FOR CONSTIPATION, SLUGGISH LIVER &o. UNLIKJfi many kinds of cathartic medicines, do not make you feel worse before you feel better. Their operation is gentle, but thorough, and j unattended with disagreeable effects, such as nausea, griping pains, &c. Seigel's Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. Thei best remedy extant for the bane of our lives—constipation and sluggish liver. These Pills prevent fevers and all kinds of sickness, by removing all poisonous matter from the bowels. The operate briskly, yet mildly, without an pain. If you take a severe cold, and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste, is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A few doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will cleanse the stomach, remove the bad taste, and restore ihe appetite, and with it bring good health. Oftimes disease, or partially decayed food, causes sickness, nausea, 'and diarrhoea. If the bowels are cleansed from this impurity with a dose of Seigel's Operating* Pills, these disagreeable effects will vanish, and , good health will result. Seigel's Operating Pills prevent 11 effects from excess in eating or drinking. A good dose at bedtime renders a person fit for business in the morning. 'lhese Pills, being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste common to most pills is obviated. < OR SALE BY ALL CHEMISTS. DRUGGISTS AND MEDICINE VENDORS' PROPttIETORtf A. J.
