WON A DOUBLE

Goshawk Scores For Cameron The thick end of the prizemoney at Trentham went the way of the Hastings trainer. Jack Cameron. MOST of the money came through the ■ agency of Goshawk — The Hawk only added a third place as his share. In the Wellington Handicap with 7.7, Goshawk was very nicely treated. He was lucky to get m, for had the Ellerslie meeting gone off to schedule he would have had at least eight stone. It's an ill wind, and the disturbance up north was a friend m disguise for Jack. Cameron. The first day Goshawk allowed Pink Note to run himself out, and then Barry brought him through, and the last bit was not a race. ■ -. A thirteen-pound rise for the Pearce on Monday found backers not a little scared — and till then a favorite had yet to turn up. This time Goshawk got a much harder race, but he stuck to his job like a good horse and got up m time to beat the outsider, Teri. Goshawk has now won three races m arow — he is unlucky it is not four. N.ot exactly a commandinglooking sort, he is dead honest. Talking about him last summerbefore the Douro Cup— Cameron said to "N.Z. Truth" that Goshawk had nothing m his favor when it came to carrying weight — and so it would appear to-day. From now on he will have to carry it ;— it will soon be known how he goes. MESS UP THERE was a mess-up over the preA sentation of the Harcourt Cup. ' Hughie Nurse was m a hurry to get Rapier loaded on to the train, which was waiting. Still, if he had to get away he should have asked somebody to take the '; trophy for him — it was a matter of common courtesy that he either be present, or appoint a deputy. N As it was the crowd waited, but waited m vain. . inilltllllllllltHlllinUliHtlllUHHUHHHlllllHHHHUllMHHllllUltllllllirilltUlllHlllllllUtllllMMMMllllMlllintl nmiiimmmiiimmiimmimmmramimimimiiimimMnimmimmimmiimmimimimmroimmmu
