Morton's Manner

IP it comes to athletics—well, W; Mor,toh, of Auckland, certainly knows • his onions; if it comes to a question of racing, then W.M. certainly knows his horses 'and; everything else that is to be known about the game.

; Additional to all this, he knows more than the AiB.C. of outdoor sport m all ' its branches. -»———.

' To see' Mbrton m a crowd .is to 'pick him out 'easily from /the rest, for She is not lacking m height. [ There is nothing of the : yaciliating manner about b,im -when it '.comes to •■forming a- conclusion. Once his mindois made up, ;W.M.' : can: stick to his point with the; tenacity of the. British bulldog. : .

•■' Those with • whom he comes m - contact ; cannot always see- eye to eye with him, but he can hang lon tight to his opinion and rest m the knowledge-, that he knows what he is talking about. "

, But m : spite of any disagreement there may be. with his. views at times, Morton has a: way with him that makes him ; ' pbpular; ' \ Strong convictions he haa, ; but he, rieyer. "lacks .the -courage to give voice to them.
