"The Press” Special Service INVERCARGILL. March 4. Juvenile pacers in the Southland Stakes, the feature event at the Invercargill Trotting Club’s autumn meeting tomorrow, should provide the highlight of the day. In a season which has been noted for the number of good three-year-olds about, the Southland Stakes has drawn together three winners in Waterspray, Rustic Lad and Chiffon which will be required to give away 12 yards to the promising youngsters Johnny Dean and Flying Look, both of which have been consistently placed. The T.A.R. double will be on the well Handicap in which Latest and Autumn Handicap and the FareReal Dieman appeal most.
