THE LAST LAP
rpftOTTING riders and drivers -i- are well aware of what the last lap means when the fight is right on in a contest and woe betide the unfortunate reinsman who has miscalculated his distance. This was not unknown in former days when tracks were of the saucer variety and races ali over a two or three mile course. It is just as imperative for those directly interested in the business to remember that the last lap prior to race day is acceptance time and when Secretary Absolum rings the bell at 5 o’clock to-morrow evening, when acceptances close for the first day’s card of the Otahuhu fixture, those who have failed to speed up at the right time will be left lamenting. It will be well, therefore, for all those who intend starting their charges on Saturday, February 18, to get in early and make their acceptance sure in good time. U' m '’Z HZ SX. it.
