FIRST PAST THE POST
A TALE OF THE TURF. Some delegates at yesterday's Trotting Conference expressed the opinion that in certain cases dividends should 1)6 paid on horses first past the post. Mr. W. G. Talbot. Wellington, said that if. was only fair tn the public to pay on first past tho post in cases where horses were disqualified for not declaring the full amount of their overweight.
Someone became reminiscent. He remembered a time when a first-past-the-po'st rule was :n operation. Some Taranuki sportsmen took a liorse along to a Manawntu meeting, and ran it in a hurdle race. 'Lite horse did not jump a fence throughout the race, but as he was easily first past the post the totalisator paid out on him.
