FOR THE SECOND TIME

Locanda Boy Heads Them Home At Greymotith (By "The Toff"). Locanda Boy won his second Greymouth Cup by six lengths from the favorite, Dilworth, whose- task of conceding the : field 48 yards was augmented by a bad dispatch.

TJINSCARTH made play for half a O mile, where Locanda Boy took charge and piloted, the field past the half-mile disc, m 1.5. He was going easy at the mile, m 2.30, where Arikitoa, Binscarth, Hackthorne, • Bes3ie Dillon and Delightful were following him m. close order. When the mile and a-half pag :. was reached m 3.46 Dilworth put m her run on the outside of three sulkies going round the bend out of the straight. As they raced along the back the last time, Arikitoa broke and Dilworth jdrew into second place, with Delight-

ful and Bessie Dillon doing best of the others. ' Rounding the home bend, Dilworth endeavored to overhaul Locanda Boy, but once straightened for home, Locanda Boy drew right away and won easing up. / He was driven by his trainer, Davey Bennett. ..,",■ ■ Rain began to fall an hour before the race and made the course heavy. ' This suited Locanda Boy, which, like all the Brent Locanda tribe, , is at home m soft going. \ ; Locanda Boy was successful m the Cup the previous year.
