One of the most, consistent" and hardestworked pacers in commission this season has been Dillon Logan, the -fanner of the Dunedin Cup on Thursday last, and the. way he has stood up to7the strain and kept his^form is a tribute to his trainerdriver, W. Barron. In twenty-one starts he has. been .three times a winner seven ™es. seS° nd< and °nce'third sfince August. What added to the merit of his Cup wiii was the ,fact that he finished with both tires flat, and several-pokes broken in one sulky wheel. Since her creditable-second to Mataunga at ISTew Brighton .in December, Resound has made steady improvement, 7 and her win. at Dunedin on Thursday was the third in succession scored'by the WrackEcho mare. Steadiness under pressure won the race for Resound, who was under a hard drive to beat Amonos, Who lost considerable ground-through breaking. • ■ ;■ Sea' Mist (Wrack—Noiseless), who won the other | trotters' event on Thursday . also owed:her success to her solidity as it was this quality that enabled her to beat a more speedy opponent in Raclaim/ Amonos, if unsteady, -was at least consistent, as three seconds and a third went down to his credit in the two days The two brilliant victories of Indianapolis at Dunedin strengthen the contention that he is one of the most outstand-. .ing .three-year-olds yet raced in the Dominion. .The "horses for courses" theory was strikingly exemplified by the dual winning performance of John Noble, who won the concluding event each day Af tr? F-?Tll u, ry-:E,ar'? Mee«ng in May last John Noble brought off an exactly similar pertOTmance, and had not1 won in the interval, while in the. 1930-31 season his only victory in twenty-three starts was gained in -the Recovery Handicap at the same club'_ Spring Meeting.' Prince Author, favourite for the Musselburgh Handicap at Forbury, threw-way any chance he had by rearing up'at the start, and, though he paced well once un-f der way,-he ran into some bother when endeavouring, to make lip his leeway, and finished down the course. In addition to three 7 horses scoring double wins, remarkable consistency wa. shown by many of the placed horses at Dunedin, among others, JSmtomatic (Rey de Oro—Logan Pointer mare) being three times in second place, and St. Felix twice second.

Huon Voyage, who has-not been giving satisfaction in his work of late, ha_ been withdrawn from the special trotters' match at the Metropolitan Club's Meeting at Addington.on Saturday nest, and his place has been awarded to Todd Lonzia. As the holder of the mile trotting record, it is fitting that this horse should be given an opportunity to compete, and also a tribute to the sporting attitude adopted; by his owner,-in -giving exhibitions "and"endeavouring' follower records, in the interest of the sport
