LEAVING TE AWAMUTU
J. J. KENNERLEY RETURNING SOUTH J. J. Kennerley, who has for some little time been at Te Awamutu m chai'ge of Mr. Wilfred Johnstone’s team of light-liai-ness hoi'ses, will shortly return to Canterbury. In convei'sation with “A.baydos” at Te Ai'oha on Saturday, J.J.K. said he had a notion of settling close to Wellington, but there was nothing suitable and he eventually decided to return to Christchurch, and will take up his old quarters at Spreydon. “There is a great deal more interest in the sport down South,” said the ti*ainer, “and more scope for trotting activity.” Kennerley will carry away pleasant i-ecollections of Te Awamutu, having formed a high opinion of its climate and general surroundings. Probable Successor It is quite likely that F. J. Smith, the English trainer and reinsman, who has become popular with Auckland • trotting fans since taking up his i*esidence at Epsom, will succeed Jack Kennerley at Te Awamutu. Fred Smith knows his trotting drill from A to Z, and should he accept the position, will fill it with every credit. Although only a short period in New Zealand, Smith has demonstrated that he can both train and drive with tJie best of them, and providing he has the goods, will deliver them all right.
