COSTLY TO BACKERS
It is a most unusual thing for the Christchurch light harness mentor, V/. J. Tomkinson to visit a fixture with a team that cannot pick up some of the plums. He is generally successful at Alexandra Park, and the public have formed such an opinion of the trainer and his candidates, that anything bearing the Tomkinson stamp at Auckland is solidly supported. At the gathering just concluded the Southerner had Elzear, Napland, Holly Boy, Bell Harold, Direct Wood and Richore engaged, but sII failed to return a dividend. The Tomkinson colours were produced on ten occasions during the fixture, and the large sum of ;£8,589 was invested on Ihe chances of his representatives. It was a costly deal for followers of the stable.
