HE HAS LEFT

Champion Limerick Sails Away (From '/N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) Limerick, accompanied by Arikiwai, Gay Crest, Rosorea.and Lighthearted, left for Sydney last week. TIMERICK was well forward m condition when he left Riccarton, and acquitted' himself well m the final sprints allotted him. He displayed more dash than when previously trained, and he is . now much more robust. At one' stage of his career, Arikiwai threatened to break down, but under careful treatment the leg has improved, and his trainer now is of the opinion that he will survive, a preparation. Roscrea, Limerick's half-brother by. Rossendale, is a candidate for A.J.C. Derby honors. . . • He has twice faced a starter, his initial effort being' at Ashburton, when he won. At Trentham he .filled second place. • : ,, Gay Crest is a promising sort that should pay expenses on the trip. The fourth member, Lighthearted, was recently purchased by F. D. Jones on behalf of an Australian sportsman. . ' Lighthearted will change trainers on arriving at Sydney. His mission will be at the pony meetings. TWO dogs that, were allowed full charge of the birdcage at Gisborne should hot be allowed there. Because they belong to a local trainer is no reason for their presence on the course on race days.
