GRANDFATHER ON BOARD
Usually grandfathers are content,to sit among the spectators when a race is in progress, but the Waipukurau Meeting on Easter Monday brought out a grandfather of another kind, Mr. L. C. Breakwell, who took the mount on Passion Fruit in the Ladies' Handicap and won the race, writes "Carbine." Mr. Breakwell is long,past the age at which men ride in horse races, but he handled his horse well and won decisively ' The broadcaster's call to "Give the old boy a cheer" was heartily responded to, and it is safe to say that Easter Monday was one of the biggest days in the veteran's life.
