(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.)

The second "leg" of the double

the Matakitaki' Handicap

MINE have paid up and the backmarker, Peter Bingen, is conceding starts ranging .up to^yds^a bit oft a. hurdl'e'iri a riiilfe -and" a-quarter heat;

The event is open, and though one or two may be outclassed on the day the issue should be well contested. !

One engaged that strikes the eye is Dillon Huon, which only started once at Epsom m June, but gave a rattling exhibition to get third when a handkerchief would have covered the placegetteirs.
