FALSE PRICE

Tea Time Scores From No. 15 (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) -Tea Time's big dividend m the Kensington Hack at Whangarei was a re.d,-hot fluke and can only be explained by the /fact that he drew No. 15 at the peg. TT takes something out of the com- ■*■ mon to strike a favorable position from the outer at the six-furlong peg at Whangarei, but Tea .Time is a speedy beginner and was up handy before a lot of those m the middle at the starting-peg realized it was their duty to race for the cash. Punters had not got over realizing that Bombarder, favorite m the previous race, failed to show up from No. 16, when they found Tea Time on No. 15.. That seemed the end to Tea Time's -usual firm supporters, an.d he was neglected. But Tea Time won m good style after settling Winsome Boy. He Avas too sore 'to start on the second day. There were many inquiries away from the track as to the dividend, but its magnitude was only too true. It was certainly a fluke price, which proved a bit of a windfall for Tea Time's vast army of stay-at-home supporters. The Tea Tray gelding/ can go fast, and if Jack Wallace can keep him on his pins there are more dividends for him m sprint events. ' CACH race Centrepiece had at Ric- *-* carton worked wonders m him and had there been another day he would probably have won.
