OFFER TURNED DOWN
Lucky Jack, a New Zealand Trotting Cup winner and one of the best pacers in the ! Dominion, would have been available for an. attempt against time over two miles at the Canterbury Park Meeting in the New Year, but the club has found it necessary to turn the offer down, as arrangements had already been made for Indianapolis to make an attempt to lower Lawn.Derby's record time of lmin 59 2-ssec for a mile. '
Mr. G. J. Barton had been offered either of the two days on which his horse could make his attempt, and as it was thought that two trials, possibly on the same day, would interfere too much with the programme Mr. W. T. Lowe's offer was not accepted.
Lucky Jack may now make an attempt on the Forbury Park mile record of 2min 3 2-ssec held by Indianapolis.
