WALLA WALLA AND HAROLD LOGAN
TO THE lUTUR OP THE PBESS. Sir,—Well, the truth is out. The only possible conclusion one can arrive at after the display of bad sports-
manship in the Invitation Race last Wednesday, is that the only means any New Zealand horse had of beating Walla Walla was to keep him in. the stable. I r-ad with interest No Favour's'' letter written after the first race, and thought, there might be a grain of 1 rut It m if, but possibly McKay knew the Uctics-he would be subject to, and kept clear of interference in that event. One thing is pertain, no favours were given the Australian in the second race. After the great expense and trouble the New Zealand Metropolitan Club went to to make the two matches of epochmaking interest, I feel sure it is a very disgusted body. Sportsmanship as shown last Wednesday will do great harm to the trotting sport, for one must bear in mind that the great crowd present and the increased totalisator turnover was due largely to those who, like myself, enjoy the sight of great trotters and good drivers in action. —Yours, etc., SPORT.
