Ainge's Ambition

THE real pleasure m racing, so those iri the game say, is m breeding a

good horse and having sufficient courage to refuse tempting offers to

part with it. ' ; ..''{■.-'■ . \ ■*If this; is so, John A. Ainge, better' known as "Bert," has enjoyed, that pleasure to the fullest degree; .It' is not so long since: Bert 1 to^k on the game and m this short period he has had to have the legs of . the sideboard reinforced to withstand the growing weight of trophies which his gee-gees are bringing home, v The Dunedin Cup and the N.Z. Oaks trophies are numbered among -his most cherished possessions — arid who knows but that before November is far gone a valuable Riccarton trophy might take its place witluthe rest?

Bert's name with Dunedin folk is ; a household word. When you meet 'him m his office, you immediately feel comfortable, knowing that you ' are m the presence of a genuine sportsman. And at Riccarton m November, if the right number goes up, the win' will be acclaimed throughout the South Island as the most popular on record. He ,is surely a good scout, this John Albert Ainge. 7- .7 .-.. -.■!■!. x
