NO MUD-HORSE

Still Desert Glow Shows Up (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) Desert Glow has never been . known up north as being partial to the turf when on the soft side. MEVERTHELESS,, m the open mile on the second day of the Te Kuiti fixture, with a 'five-pound allowance claimed, there was more spirited support for him than m his opening 1 day engagement., ;' • The class engaged was nothing ' approaching high rank, and Desert Gilow went to, the post carrying only. 3lbs. above the minimum. He was not m his very best trim, but still he was always m the pioture for more than six furlongs, and had the going, been firm he' might not have petered out m the run home. Desert Glow's supporters must have been on good terms with their judgment at the home bend. ■ His prbmirient position at that stage lends color to the belief that Loomb's gelding is hot done with yet. . SOME INQUIRIES A LOT 1 of inquiries have been made " to "N.Z. Truth" about the horse whose jockey lost his compass. Everybody is anxious, to know about him; To all and sundry it is hereby broadcasted that the horse has no* immediate engagements In New Zealand, and it may be good speculation to say he will next race over the water.
