A General Favourite | All eyes were focussed on Terenc Dillon, who was geared up, and wit! J. McLennan in the sulky moved ver; I nicely. The son of Author Dillon’: mission was not a time-making one. but his style of locomotion and general appearance impressed the onlookers. Pleased The Touts Daytime was given solid work with out the straps and the Nelson Binge* gelding gave a good display. Da.vtinv has not been over-raced as since h< won at Ashburton twelve months ag» he has only sported silk on two oc casions, being unplaced each start.
