It will be his last appearance before leaving New Zealand to compete in the famous T.T. reliability contests on the Isle of Man. Another prominent competitor will be Reg. Ranby, who holds the New* Zealand middle-weight grass-track championship, T. Morgan and B. Bray, who are also familiar to the Auckland public will also be riding.
