CANNONBALL MISSES FIRE
pANNONBALL went two solid races at the. Hutt, but a bad break on each occasion caused his supporters—and they were numerous both times—to lose a dividend. In fact, there was a suspicion that without faulting in the mile-and-a-half heat, Alboni's converted trotter would have been first past the post. In his 16-furlong engagement the Wildwood Junior gelding was a moral to get second, had he not left his feet, while many of his supporters still think the Reeftonite would have saluted the man in the box. But in justice to Native Star it must be said she won like a good one, and over the last half-mile did not look like getting beaten. The daughter of Native King will prove later that her Wellington win was full of merit.
