WINDBAG'S TRAINER.

NEW ZEALANDER'S SUCCESS. (raou ova omt coebzsposdent.) SYDNEY, November 12. The triumph of tho Sydney horse Windbag in the Melbounio Cup was a triumph also for a New Zealander, George Price, tho trainer of the. winner, who has been hardly less in the public eye sinco tho great race than the hoise itself. One paper has even reproduced a picture of tho magnificent house, something of a mansion, which Price is building at one of tho favourite watering resorts of Sydney, and thas described it, of course, as "Tho house that Windbag built." Price, according to one writer, never wavered in hi 3 faith about Windbag. Ho told the Writer in question, on a visit to his stables long beforo the day of the Cup, that Windbag was the best horso that ho had ever seen. "I like his head," said Price. Then there is the story of how Price arrived in Sydney from New Zealand only t*o years ago with ' nothing virtually, but his reputation, character, and capacity in his bag. "A few horses came his way," says ono writer, "a little success here and there, and finally, on the crest of a big wave of training suocesses, Price could not be denied.
