DISTINCTIVE OVERALLS
The Auckland trainer, F. J. Smith, on his last visit to Addington, had his stable attendants decked out in kneelength white coats, and F. C. Dunlevy went one better on Saturday, when his men wore black coats with heliotrope collars.
The innovation is a very pleasing one (says the -"Press"), for not only do the men look neat and smart in their new livery, but these coats save good clothes from being spoiled. The gearing up and handling of horses really make necessary the wearing of overalls. It is to be hoped other trainers will follow the example set by ■Smith and Dunlevy.
