TROUBLE OVER MISSING HORSE.

FALSE REPOET ALLEGED. AUCKLAND, April 4. For some weeks past there lias been much comment as to the whereabouts of the pacing mare Promenade and the following notice published in the official calendar makes interesting reading- ‘ ‘ Disqualification—C. K. Edwards for life for wilfully and corruptly supplying false information by reporting the death of the mare Promenade, and for refusing to give information or to make a written declaration respecting the said mare —by the New Zealand Trotting Association, 15-3-27, J. B. Norris, secretary.” It is well known that the authorities in Auckland have been making inquiries as to the whereabouts of Promenade, which is a speedy mare with some good performances, the best perhaps being the time when she beat Great Bingen at Otahuhu at the spring meeting in 1923 in a mile and a quarter event, j going 2min 49 l-ssec, a 2min 16sec gait. Besides that victory Promenade has some fast times to her ere-, dit over a mile, the best being 2min 11 4*ssec. Promenade has not competed m New. Zealand since May 6, 1925, and naturally such a long spell for a pacer of her description has created some surprise.
