Owing to difficulty in finding shipping space it is possible that Walla Walla may have to forego the engagement in the inter-Dtominion trotting championship at Perth, and similar difficulty may be encountered by the New Zealand trotters when they reach Australia. Should that be the case there is a possibility that the carnival may be postponed.
