TRAIN FARES AS USUAL
The Wellington Racing Club recently approached the Railway Department with a 'view to obtaining a reduction in train fares for patrons at its meeting this month, but the Department has replied stating that it cannot see its way clear to grant the request.
The club has decided to reduce admission for men to the lawn from 12a to 10s.
THREE. FULL RELATIVES
Three Jfiill relatives in Phar Lap, Nea Lap, and Nightguard were racing in Australia and New Zealand on Saturday at about the same time. Judged on public opinion, all might have won, but actually the whole range of the gamut separated their performances. Phar Lap, of course, kept the family banner flying. Phar Lap's easy win was in the Spring Stakes at Randwick, which he captured for the second year in succession. Nea Lap, his year younger sister, was expected to open her winning account in the Park Stakes at Greennieadows, but faded out of the fight at the close. Nitrlitgunrd, Phar Lap's two-year younger brother, was backpd as a good thing for the Hakataramca Handicap at Km-ow, but one of the rank outsiders of the field, Captivate, accounted for him by several lengths, although he narrowly beat the others.
