TWO OUTINGS

Rapier Is Not Quick Enough Yet (From "N.Z. . Truth's" Christchurch J ' Rep.) , Rapier* form at the Geraldine meeting can be entirely disregard-, cd. HE was not expected to show up on the first day, when he was started m the open sprint. . At the end of that race, however, he was putting m. better work than he did on the second day, when he started m the ten-furlong event. .. ' Looking lusty and bright, and as pretty as "a picture — tod pretty m fact — he was entirely neglected on the machine.. He, got away well, but soon lost his position. He came again at the finish, and was doing his stuff as well as any- ; thing over the final bit. On the second day, m a four -horse race, he tailed the field, and drifted so far back that his rider got up no closer than last. .' There is plenty of time for, the Greyspear hOrse 1 to improve, and he Avill be a much better horse, a month hence than this form' suggests..
