EMULOUS A BRILLIANT PACER

Emulous is undoubtedly the outstanding pacer in the Dominion toda-y, and his reeord of seven consecutive wins this season speaks for itself. As the result of his latest victories he has qualilied for the front of the handicap in jtlie New Zealand Trottiiig Hnp, .and even at this stage h'e looks to lxaye a moftgage on the big Addington ; event. No matter what tLe class bppose'd to hini, Emulous has triumphed p'yer all obstacles and morO '.of less won-i||i-.easy fashion in each olj his. dutiiigs.. rAn; interestiiig point about' His;'ability: 'is the fact that when he b'reaks Hfevhtart Lis driver, W. K. Tatters0:n,..al1,OAys him. to gallop into his gait, butV- oftce he strikes his straps there is ne/or' any indication of his leaving his f 66t, ' He has speed above the average, while his stainina cannot be faulted/an'd it' will be surprising if he does not hcldyconsider'ably to his earnings ...Jjefqfe. - the season is brought to a conclusiprLY. Emulous is out of a ®Ottdescrjbb mare called Light Wings, who was/Stild' at the liaek price of £7 At Tatt6rsa.ll 's. She will thus go down .in .histofy' as" oue of tlie bargains of the sale rinj/ . ' In all, Emulous has won 12:-.faces in his career, but his reeord thisLterm of nine suecesses (the last seven .•'on end) is outstanding. His total fearnings throughout his racing eampaign, which opened at three years, is £9GS9, of which £8579 has been eolleeted since last August. W. K. Tatterson, Avho trains Emulous, has met with a fair amount of success since throwing in his lot with the light-harness sport several years ago, but Emulous is easily the best liorse he has prepared. Ainong others to win races in his eolours was Lightning Lady, who worlted her way into the best classes before being finally retired to the Stud.
