Telegram Delivery Delay
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 26. Replying to reported delay in the delivery of a telegram by the racing trainer, W. E. Hancock, notifying acceptance of the horses Canon and Vocalize for the Canterbury Jockey Club meeting, the Telegraph Department states:— "The normal telegraph service would enable a telegram dispatched from Wingatui at 10.30 a.m. to be delivered in Christchurch before noon. "Explicit delivery instructions provided that the message for *Turf' was to be taken to their office before other telegrams on the same dispatch were delivered. Unfortunately, these instructions were not followed, with the result that the telegram was not delivered until about 12.12 p.m.”
