WORK AT ELLERSLIE A QUIET MORNING There was not a great deal of galloping done at Ellerslie this morning, and the fast work attracted little interest. Trainers had the use of number two grass, and it was on this that the following gallops took place; Segment moved smartly over six furlongs, recording the attractive time of 1.18 2-5 for the journey, this being the best effort of the morning over the distance. The two-year-olds, Neil and Blue Grey, were given a task over three furlongs, taking 42 3-5. Lucklaine was not asked to do his best to get to the end of five furlongs in 1.7 3-5, while Red Lion moved attractively over half a mile in 52, the last three furlongs, taking 39 3-5. Baby Bun sped comfortably over half a mile in 54 2-5, Respirator travelling over a similar journey in 59 2-5. Took It Easy The stable companions, Monetize and Bulolo, were set a seven furlongs task, and from a standing start covered the distance in 1.35, both under a pull, however. The last six furlongs took 1.21. Corinax was asked to cover a round, The Lover joining in over the last seven furlongs, the former registering 1.46 4-5. Bombarder strode over five furlongs in 1.6, this being a fair effort. Lido and Sulla, from almost a standing start, ran home from the five-fur-long post in 1.6 1-5, Ponticus taking 53 for half a mile. Master Loon, Taneriri, Valquette and Lineroo jumped off at intervals in that order to move over five furlongs, and the first mentioned, who was also in the van at the finish, took 1.5 —an attractive effort. Golden Krist had an advantage over Abbott’s Delight at tl e end of six furlongs in 1.23 2-5. TRAINER’S DEATH W. TOZER, OF ELLERSLIE There will be a feeling of deep regret among trainers at Ellerslie at the death of the well-known trainer, Mr. W. Tozer, who died at his residence early this morning. Mr. Tozer had been troubled with ill-health for several weeks past, and during the last few days little hope was held out of his recovery. Recently the late Mr. Tozer was training Archeno, and up to the time he was overtaken by illness he had Mountain Guide, Bennie and Knight’s Town. FAIR DIVISION WANTED BANKRUPT IN BOTH ISLANDS SYMPATHY FOR SOUTHERNERS When a request from the Canterbury creditors of George Wilcox, twice adjudged a bankrupt, came to a meeting of his Auckland creditors yesterday afternoon for the interest on the Auckland claims and a part of the dividend, sympathy was shown the Southerners. When he was a taxi-proprietor in Auckland, Wilcox filed as a bankrupt in 1922. This year, he went bankrupt in Ashburton. He was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment for securing credit without disclosing that he was an undischarged bankrupt. His debts in Canterbury reached £ 6,354, and the assignee there expected to realise £I,OOO. Mr. G. N. Morris, the official assignee at Auckland, claimed £756 of this sum for .the amount due to the Auckland creditors of the first bankruptcy, with the accumulated interest. An interesting point * was that Wilcox’s assets in Auckland were only £2. If Mr. Morris’s claim were met, he would be securing money Wilcox had raised in Ashburton. Canterbury creditors were afraid that they would receive about £250 for their £6,354. When they asked for a concession from Auckland through Mr. A. S. Nieholls, of Ashburton, yesterday afternoon, the meeting passed a resolution, as an “act of grace,” that the creditors present would refund to the assignee at Ashburton the full amount of the interest paid on their claims. The creditors present recommended those absent to do likewise. Luring the lapse of six years, however, several Auckland firms with which Wilcox had dealings have gone into liquidation, and one creditor has died. These fact 3 make legal formalities necessary. In asking for fair play, Mr. Nieholls admitted that Mr. Morris’s claim had been quite legal. The creditors of the first bankruptcy were entitled to the assets, and interest at C per cent, j At the Canterbury bankruptcy meeting, the assignee said that Wilcox's failure had been due to mismanagement and extravagant living.
