UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF

TROTTING CLUBS TO ASSIST CHRISTCHURCH PROPOSAL Press Association CHRISTCHURCH. Saturday. Proposals for holding a special trotting meeting for the benefit of the unemployment fund have been discussed by Mr. J. W. Beanland, a member of the committee, and Mr. IT. J. Otlev. who organised the trotting meeting last year for the benefit of the West Coast earthquake relief fund. The proposal is to apply for a permit for a meeting, and also for exemption from taxation on profits. An appeal for funds by public subscription, it is feared, may not be so successful this year, and a trotting meeting would raise a considerable sum.

he was placed behind Enigma, who was a close third. The others were well out of it, and their performances did not afford scope for comment. A Stirring Finish Half-way down the running in the Ashburton County Handicap Atlialone, Great Logan, Pluto, The Shrew and Sunshower were all practically in line, and in a powerful finish Great Logan struggled home a neck in front of Pluto, while The Shrew was a neck away, just in front of Sunshower. with Atlialone beaten off. Great Logan had a good run throughout. In this he was fortunate, as The Shrew and Sunshower wero not so well dealt with Muon Denver was all through two furlongs from home, and Athalone, usually a great stayer, failed badly over the last furlong. Wrackeen lost a good chance through breaking at the start. The mistake cost her fully 60 yards, and she was not dangerous afterward.

The performance of Sunshower was really a fine one, and augurs well for her prospects of pulling off something at Auckland. Good Game Filly

Despite her decisive defeat of Red Shadow at Ashburton last month. Arethusa was not in strong demand for the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, and both Red Shadow and Gold worthy carried more support. It was a fine forward field that paraded, and in registering 3.25 3-5 Arethusa set new figures for a two-year-old for Australia and New Zealand. At the start Wheat King, Tra.vis Maxwell and Shirley Bingen went astray, and at the end of a furlong the order was Gold Chips, Goldworthy, Arethusa, Royal Chenault. Red Shadow. Crimson Key and Golden Harvest. When Gold Chips turned into the back, Goldworthy put in a run and led to the top from Gold Chips, Ked Shadow. Arethusa, Royal Chenault and Golden Harvest. Then Arethusa made a dash and when the home turn was reached she was close to Goldworthy, with Gold Chips and Royal Chenault the only others threatening danger. A little farther on Goldsworthy was in distress, and Arethusa was challenged by Gold Chips, while Red Shadow ran off the course and ruled himself out. Arethusa had to be driven right out to beat Gold Chips by a short length. Royal Chenault was six lengths away third, with Goldworthy and Golden Harvest next. Arethusa, who ranks as a sister to Wrackler, is only a •‘pocket edition,” but she shows wonderful quality and gameness. A Born Stayer

TYakataua, a dyed-in-the-wool stayer, had the opposition in the Acton Handicap at bis mercy at the end of a mile, and once the straight was reached he was always going like a winner. Lydia was pocketed until two furlongs from home, but once she got clear came with a rattle to score over Editor. Baby Logan was the best of the others. By Man o’ War Mountain Rose (dam of Taurekareku) Wakataua comes from a great staying family, and he proved outstanding on th 9 day. Australian Trotter Scores Home Voyage singled himself out six furlongs from home, and went on to win the Stewards’ Handicap as he liked. He is an Australian-bred gelding by First Voyage, and being a good stayer of level order, he is sure to do a lot better. Aucklanders will have a chance to judge for themselves if Home Voyage tackles the opposition in the Provincial Handicap on Saturday. King's Voyage was slow away, but he was in the van at the end of a mile, to give way to the winner s overwhelming run. ~ Repeta Mac was only a moderate third. Trimmer Makes Amends Trimmer, who has been on tour lately, so far as a change of training Quarters is concerned, found the care of his old trainer. D.
