HIS THOUSAND

Dalmeny Revels In The Slush (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) It was Dalmerty's ability to keep his feet m the mud that netted him the Prince of Wales Handicap, THE race was a straggling affair and A with a little less than a mile to go it -became 'a contest between Dalnieny, Logan Chief and Peterwah. The last-named pair Averit to a break with two furlongs to go, so Dalmeny sailed home, though Peterwah was beginning to press him m the run to the judge when he "hit the air" again and had to be content with second berth. The least said of the others the better, for Talaro and Loch Moigh, which filled third, and fourth placets respectively, did. not put up any fight, Those behind them, with -the cxi ception of Logan Chief, which had a show till the head .of the straight, never looked to hav.e a chance. It was Dalmeny's day; the black revelled m the mud, though the time recorded (o\s 4/5) was 34 -4/5 seconds slower than he was handicapped to go, demonstrating the sloppy nature of the course. ' " Tpmkinson's charge is improving m staying capacity and seeing out a distance better than formerly.

Parkwood went north to win a race, but failed to do so.
