Mr R. Watson, who was, killed in a motor accident in' the Bnller Gorge when returning to Westport from the New Brighton Trotting Club!s Meeting, was a well-known figure in, tod light harness sport and has been a prominent, owner at different times> At ths time of his death he was a partner with. V • Alborn in the ownership of MelTljijgß> [ who ran third in the Improvers Handicap on Saturday, ' At a general meeting of . the Biles' mere Trotting Club, held to discuss the question of holding a race meeting next year, it was reported that 1 the liabilities liad been reduced to £3O 5s sd, and with the receipt of further payments to be collected from guarantors there would be only £lB owing. The secretary stated that the debt incurred on the last race meeting had amounted to £34. The loss was attributed to the withdrawal of the large donations rej ceived in the early years. It was decided that the committee should collect ao many outstanding subscriptions as possible, and that the meeting should be adjourned until the annual meeting, to be held in December. - While the names bestowed on some trotters at times cause a good deal of confusion, one bettor at the recent Epping Meeting, New South Wales benefited considerably owing to the similarity of names.' There were two horses named All Steel and Steel All. The former All Steel started, from the back mark in the Approved Handicap, and witli a great burst of speed ran to the front in the first five furlongs, when lie appeared to hit himself and went to a wild break. Steel All was a, starter in the last race, and a stranger, being under the impression it was the horse he had seen show such speed earlier, in the day, invested £2 on Kim, Although Steel All was neglected in the betting, he ran home pn easy winner, and the lucky backer collected <i royal dividend.
