New Plymouth, the son of Pedro Pronto beat all except Menco, who is more than useful. rrrat Vanity was a great disap•rtment at Taranaki. Mis good S 0 1?, made him many friends, but Boy’s half-brother failed to ' the track. • Cambridge footing Jesuit him better. n-ithout showing any special im"rement, Oliver Thorpe went a Its'iig race last Saturday, and stic“u e d in securing third money. Me well and on present form may 5. ntd l a heat , irtnoro, the Corrigan trotter, is only ladder, but in her latest essay gave olid display Solidity is a lost art ' u the majority of the moderate I,"tiers now in commission, and this should not be lost sight of. ffhen TVindchat finished close up to tj, place-setters at Claudelands, it
