GREYHOUND RACING

MEETING AT WANGANUI MASTERTON DOGS SUCCESSFUL. SOME STERLING PERFORMANCES. A large number of local dogs competed in the Wanganui Greyhound Racing Club's New Zealand Centennial Speed championship meeting held at Wanganui East on Monday. The gathering which was conducted in an excellent manner attracted a large crowd. Sterling performances were put up by Mr E. J. Wing's All Cash, and Mr A. Parke's Flash 'Diamond. All Cash won the Dixon Maiden event by a substantial margin, outclassing a large field. A very promising thirteen months puppy. All Cash has a bright future as a greyhound racer. Good judges state that Flash Diamond should be able tn hold its own in any company in New Zealand or Australia, being a hurdler of considerable ability. , Local dogs sharing in the prize money included Mr S. Gerrand’s Democrat. Mr E. J. Wing was unfortunate in having his entry Rereatu badly savaged. Details are: —• Dixon Maiden.—Final: All Cash (Mr E. J. Wing. Musterion). 1: Democrat (Mr S. Gerrand.
