Sure to Shine

Real Light (Nelson Bingen—Ellawood) was produced by Ces Donald in the two-mil© Wellington Handicap in preference to Invader, and while he put up a tough fight was compelled to strike his colours to both Athalone and Travis Axworthy, who had benefited by a race earlier in the afternoon. He is not likely to be over raced, as last season his record was one start—one win. Judging by the manner in which

Still Short of Fuel Firelight, an aged son of Match light from a Wallace L. mare, who has not captured a stake for some time past, was well favoured for the final event at Wellington on Saturday, but another failure was recorded against the black pacer. It looks, however, as if he encouraged his party to continue with the work and his turn may not be long delayed. With Firelight. Real Light and Grand Light all taking part in the event in question, there should have been a lot of light on the subject, but they failed to dazzle the man in the box. Landed at Last

Young Carbine (El Carbine—Bonny Jenny) did not win out of his turn when he succeeded in saluting the judge last Saturday.

Under tho circumstances it was not surprising Warren’s charge was the outsider of the six starters.
