Glideaway s Second Thousand At Otahuhu

(From "N.Z. Truth's," Special Auckland Representative.) - The Otahuhu - Cup was not enough for Glideaway for she topped off with the thousand pound Dominion two-miler. !V. ..; .

BUT she had to step a little faster than her first day's effort to stall off Harvest Child by a neck. Close on that fellow's wheel was Jean McElwyn, and The Abbey was not far away. It 'was a spirited contest with Maurice Holmes letting Harvest Child have his head arid keeping them moving. Tomkinson let Glideaway run along never farther back than fifth,. Native Prince, Dundas Boy and Jean McElwyn separating him from the leader. They raced, like this for most of the way and just after /Native Prince tangled w.heri nearing the half peg Glideaw;ay made a forward move. She cracked it oh with the judge m sight, and with the whalebone whistling from all quarters scrambled home with little to spare. There were no "beg pardons" . about the finish, and it was a solid ' and game effort oh the part of the ' little mare. ; '. : -; ;•' The remainder of the field were up close at the death, with The Abbey coming with a late and flying finish! He began at a tangle and was well

back throughout, but, had Bill Clifton gone on the outer earlier* he must have been hard to beat.

, The Tomkinson— Glidea-vyay combination is a beauty, and with patient handling th'e "Aussie" lady Should be as profitable as an ice cream shop during a heat wave.
