WRACKLER EASILY

Derby If as Jog ror\ (By "The Toff/) ; ;! ; The New Zealand Derby Stakes f proved a soft victory for Wr.ackle'rl |\/[ AURICE HOLMES, toolc him to the 1U front at, the (end of a furlong 1 and after driving a heady race m Iront.he brought H. F. Nicoll's candidate home an easy winner. '',:,' When the barrier was 'released Grandhght and Wrackler shot out, setting a 24 yards break on Sonoma Child and Muriel de Oro. Wrackler took them to the" first quarter pole m 37 3/5, seconds, and was at the half -mile in' 1.13-2/5. ' j Though Grandlight drew level with' him with a round to go Wrackler was going very, easily, . . ' Rounding the.' -far turn Grandlight, : Muriel de Oro, Sonoma Child and Lindbergh were racing m a bunch just behind Wrackler. The ten furlongs were accounted for m 2.53 1/5. As they wheeled for home F. Holmes gave Sonoma Child a tap with the whip, but the gelding could not respond and Muriel de Oro was beaten also. Grandlight made a game effort to reach Wrackler, but Wrackler simply shook his tail at his rival, and won very easily. . , Wrackler is a fine advertisement for the American horse, Wrack, which gives evidence of developing into a high-class sire. Grandlight will develop into a good handicap performer, and Lindbergh has a bright future. > Sonoma Child was not himself, but he will win good stakes when* he strikes form, Pageant Arrives pRABBY .Quality took a dislike to fighting out the finish of the Hornby Handicap, and when chaileng- ; ng the leaders she broke and nearly stood on her head. The winner, Pageant, was sixth when the field settled down, but over the last half-mile Billy Tomkihson brought the gelding along and beat Jolly Chimes by a whisker. Had Jolly Chimes not lost his balance over the serious part of the race Pageant would have been second. Avenger, Sahib and William "the Great went dandy races, but Kotuku Jack and Golden Bubbles fiddled on the mark. They are awake down south that Amaris is not too good a punting proposition. * * # Jackie Audubon is better to-day than "Truth" reckoned he was a couple of weeks ago. * * # If Trustworthy reproduces track form when doing it for the cash you can have the rest. *> * # The Waikato Trotting Club will have two of the judicial committee on the lookouts during each race\ m future They must be expecting something. Hope they know their business. The lure of tobacco! As you may be aware prisoners m our gaols each receive an ounce of tobacco weekly; and it's said that when one of them misbehaves, there is no punishment he dreads more than the stoppage of his tobacco. It's the same with the inmates of our homes and refuges. The old folks spending the evening of their days m these institutions prize the stick of tobacco served out to them once a week, more than anything else. They know the comfort and solace of it. Does smoking harm all these people? It harms nobody so long as the tobacco is pure and of good quality. Unfortunately, the imported brands are full of nicotine., And it's nicotine m excess that does the harm when harm arises. Perhaps the purest tobaccos m the world are grown and manufactured m New Zealand. And they are comparatively free from nicotine." Also they are unequalled for fragrance and flavour. Ask your tobacconist for "Riverhead Gold" (mild), "Navy Cut" (Bulldog) medium, or "Cut Plug No. 10" (Bullshead) full strength.* i
