PATEA DISTRICT HANDICAP.
Notwithstanding the oi a very poor judge of a handicap, writing in a Wanganui paper under a non de plume, and criticising the above handicap severely, no less than eight out of ten accepted, and eight owners out of nine—Mr Freeth had two horses'in and has accepted with Satellite, scratching Treason. A more triumphantrefutation of the implied want of judgment on the part of Major Turner and Dr. Croft, as handicappers, could not possibly have been afforded, and We congratulate those gentlemen on their safe escape from the “ Electric Spark.” The following are the acceptances : Folly ... ... ... 9st 71b Firetail ... ... 9st 01b Cornelia ... ... Bst 121b Flora Macdonald ... Bst 71b Sattelite Bst 31b Iniquity Bst 311) Sailor 7st 101b Patrick 6st 31b Thus it will be seen that Mr Powderell is the only real dissentient.
