Dipnoi Won With Ease

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) He made no bones about the business did Dipnoi when he .smoked home second day at Otahuhu. TAKING his first day's effort i into r , consideration, there was a marked improvement, but there were no sus-/ picions attached, to his victory. ;■ The ches.tnut gelding's connections had to be content with a short-shafted sulky m his initial engagement—something that did not suit the palate of the son of Ballin. •' " ' ' ' /•'..• Procuring a long-shafted "cart'! next time out was right m the hands of all concerned, and the Rangiora candidate rolled home with the roubles. Trainer D. Welsh did not hide behind the back door : when accounting for his charge's first day's failure, and that is why he went out a pronounced first fancy when he fanned the maiden trotting fraternity m the "Suburban two-mile heat. Dipnoi can trot and even more so, and when next he lets it loose something will get a pain m the head.
