While on the way to lie i entrained to Wellington, en route to Lyttelton. the hack with which the jrotnigsfer ; was peine led lushed out nnd inflicted , injuries on the colt. wJiich were . serious ' enough to cause his trip to he cancelled. By the Xlnln Trunk e-pre*s vesterdnr afternoon, Elens. Silver Peak nnd Rosedny arrived to fulfil their engagements at the A.It.C. Autumn Xleetlng. fnforttinatelv while beinz taken along the Ueuinern Itnail dn the wny to Ellerrslle Silver Peak wns run Into by „ motor van and one of his 1 hind legs somewhat badly cut. It Is not yet known definitely whether the Injury will prove serious or not. The Improvement in health of Mr. Edwards, the well-known Christohtirch trainer and driver, reported from the : south, was evidently only temporary, for he j missed away a few- days later, his death being generally regretted. Deceased was I ■ on,, of th-e most prominent figures in trot- ' tin, circle's in the .Dominion, and he I trained, rode, ond drove a large rei-een- j tn:.-e of winners. Ills brother XL 11. I Edwards, has taken over the horses fir- I uiei'i.r in charge of deceased. I The value nf the skull cap ,m nrotee. ! tlon to jockeys was further exempllHM at j Ellei-!!e on Thursday mnrnl'i-. wm n I Cuerre-a-Xlort fell with -T. Prestiu. The j lattet was thrown on t„ hLs bead with territl - force, while thp hor«e In recovering ! himself struck the rider heavily with his I feet. The cap was literally broken to I pieces, and hut for Its protection it is a I certainty that Preston would have been ] completely •sculped, whereas his Injuries, although including n painful cut ovVr the J eye. were not serious. The Incident j again draws attention to the foolishness! or sonic boys who school linrscx without I the cap, and It Is to be hoped that the rule of the Conference which makes it I eompclsory for caps to be worn lv a r.iep j will be added to. to make It compulsory | for them lo be also worn in schooling j work. The evidence given before Ihe Commls- ] slon In Christchiir'-h against any further increase in totnliwttor permits, hut that a redistribution be made Instead, makes interesting reading, and the opinions expressed nre entirely against the majority of those who havp a good knowledge of the subject. There is no donht that the he-It there is in racing is evident at the meetings of the larger clubs, nnd though per■luips it Is natural that various country districts want totalisator permits so as to he nhlp to hold a fixture in their home town, this Is hardly in the best Interests of the snort. The lie,. North stated. and -vig'ntlv so. that a lot of the land could be put to better use. but it does not appear to have struck him that by spreading the permits over a wider area. 1 hat will only lock tin more ground than is done at present. To centralise racing would be of much more benefit, for to tn'te away a permit from an already established chili, with IU course and appointments np-to-dnte, to _ive it to Some country club, only menus the acquisition of further ground for courses. -Hundreds, if not thousands, of people are against centralisation, but take away local feeling and Interests aud ft Is quite apparent that the «port would be all thp better if such were adopted. There is no getting away from the fact that the population of the larger towns Is the main supoort nf racinir throughout the Dominion, and a train Journey of a few hundred miles, and a few days from work, does not deter them from attending the smaller country meetings, where accommodation is at a premium, and the conditions generally a long way below requirements. With this apparent, it seems a quaint idea to suggest that. In order to get over the trouble, we should rob the eltlefl of tJieir permits, and compel the people to travel far and wide for their sport.
