TROTTING NOMENCLATURE
A NAME DECLINED.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, 9th'June. '•Nugafonos, Mr.. A. Anderson's b g by Brent Locanda—General Mac mare." That is a name which might have appeared on trotting cards in future, but for the fact that the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association this morning gave it an emphatic "No." Mr. R. A. Armstrong demurred when the name was submitted for registration. "Nugafonos," he said meditatively. "It is not a very nice name. Can't we have better names for our trotters?" "What does it mean?" queried another member. "It has occurred to me," said Mr. J. B. Norris, the secretary, "that it is 'Son of a Gun' spelt backwards." "Oh," said members, and promptly decided that "Son of a Gun" backwards should not race on New Zealand trotting tracks.
