VERTIGERN'S WIN

'. CROWD WAS HOSTILE

(From "Vedette.") SYDNEY, 30th December. Vertigern's Summer Cup victory at Eandwick on Saturday brought about a noisy demonstration from a section of the public. The stipendiary stewards, however, showed just how little they thought of the noise by not asking one question There is no doubt that the tiouble has been fomented by a section of the Sydney Preis that has always taken a dead-set against New Zealanders. In these papeis Veitigem has been kept before the pubhe, and his lunmn'g questioned when, in effect, he had let W. D. Moioney down badly. It is well krrown m insiae circleb that the iailmes ot Vertigein and Tenteiden had been costly, and if Veitigern had not won Aloroney and the horses would have been on their way back to New Zea ■and in the very near future. Vertigein certainly showed his zeal foim in the Summer Cup, finishing well after having a great run tluoughout. He was just to 6 good for Inducement, whose effort was also a considerable improvement on "iecent efforts. Conveihely Loquacious, the favourite, ran paiticularly badly, stones below her real iorni. Moroney is id a delicate 'Dosition with legaid to Tenterden This fellow gallops bulhantly on the hack, but is a rank failuie in races, He is liable- to do his best one day, and then probably there | will be another unjustifiable hubbub. Vertigern on Saturday was at a fairly short price in the cheaper enclosures, and at one- end of the paddock ring was up to four points shorter than at the other end. He was backed by an ex-New Zealander, who had lost money on him be i fore, and probably did not do more than I balance accounts. This backer has been' closely! associated with the successes of A. D. Webster's horses. I
