ONE DEFEAT

Gout Has Drop On Doug. ONE AT LEVIN Perhaps it was the habit of knocking the books m Sydney and Melbourne over the fence, and perhaps it wasn't, but nevertheless Doug. Webster brought home a long shot at Levin. TT was the second of his team to start during the day— Bayacre. In the last: a five-furlong flutter, many were supported ahead of the Webster moke, which had his apprentice, H. Stokes, aboard. The kid showed that he had learned

something ov c r the pond, 'and, doing, everything right, he brought Bayacre home. The price was of that kind that please only the totalisator payouts and the fortunate few th«U are on. ' Webster admits that his trip was a great one, and that is something, for Doug. is conservative.

At Levin Webster had much of his time taken up with telling his friends how it all happened, and it was noticed that Wilfred Stead monopolised a fair chunk of Doug.'s time. Movie Star and Hunt the Slipper were Stead horses when they left New Zealand m care of the Otaki trainer. Although Doug, cleaned up big, there was one fellow who had it on him. If he felt like a small bottle to finisn one of the many great days, he had to leave it at that. A foreigner, by name Gout, had the drop on him there.
