Roberts has bought Mungatoon for Mr. H. D. Greenwood. The gelding has recovered from the trouble that affected him at Trentham and is again in work.
F. D. Jones has made arrangements for Royal Chief to be ridden in most of his Australian engagements by E. Bartle. who was associated with the horse last spring. There will be one exception, however.
