TOEING THE MARK

HANDICAPPER MAKES GOOD C. E. GOOSMAN Of later day trotting handicappers none have secured a greater measure of confidence with those engaged in the sport than the Otahuhu adjuster, C. E, Goosma n. Since entering the ranks of handicappers Charlie Goosman has made good, and it must be gratifying to the competent official to find that every club he has acted for in the past has seen fit to reappoint him to the position. In this connection, quite recently tho various organisations with which ho is associated, placed on record appreciation of his excellent work. Although perhaps young at the business, the Hamilton man has displayed ability that would do credit to liandicappers much older in years and experience, and his work has been of such a meritorious standard that it is not going too far to assert that lie will yet reach Lite highest pinnacle of tlio profession in the Doj minion. Mr. Goosman was given his first

chance by the Te Arolia Club and I so satisfactorily did he fulfil the im- ! ; portant position that the Cambridge 1 and Hamilton clubs readily appointed him to a similar capacity. His pro- j motion was rapid, as when Mr. R T ! Reid, adjuster for the Otahuhu Club, ! resigned office, C. Goosman was appointed to the position, without appli- | j cations being called. ; When making a change last year the ■ Haw era Club, one of the strongest in ; the North Island, outside the Auckland I Metropolitan area, hit on the Hamilton ! ! man for the job. and reecntlv he was ■ appointed adjuster for the Whangarei | Club. It is quite on the cards that the methodical Charlie will soon be ; • appointed to other similar positions ini this island, and later on it is not going \ i 100 far to predict that his services will i not be confined-to country clubs only. [ ; As far as he has gone the Hamiltonian ; ■ has set the hall mark of efficiency on i , his labours and his competency is sure j i to eventually gain him further terrij torv. j With a few more meetings to engage j his attention, Mr. Goosman would be in a position to devote his whole time j to the business, a factor that should [ tend to make him as near perfection as it will be possible to become on tills earth. Conscientious in his work, Charlie has shown that he is an advocate of equality of rights, and per- ; forming his duties without fear or favour, he cannot fail to reach the j highest plane yet attained by. his New j [Zealand predecessors, i
