Rob Roy, two-year-old half-brother by Night Raid, to Homer, had his first race recently at Warwick Farm. He is a well-grown youngster (says “Pilot”), but, though in his work he had shown pace, he was unequal to showing up in the first division of the Nursery Handicap. The late Mr L. K. S. Mackinnon bought him for 1,450 gs in New Zealand and I. Foulsham has him on lease until September 16 of this year. Unless there is an extension of lease, that means Rob Roy will not carry his trainer’s colours in either Derby. Reta Peter, the only mare to twice win the New Zealand Cup, was destroyed last week after having broken a blood vessel. She was bred by Mr F. H. Robson, in whose colours she did all her racing. In 192 U she won the New Zealand Cup in the manner of a champion, and in the following year she finished second to Sherwood, who was disqualified for crossing. She did her racing under the care of A. G. Wilson, who drove her in both races for the Cup. Reta Peter was one of the best trotters ever raced in New Zealand, but like so many great race mares, she did not make a name for herself at tiie stud. The best of her progeny was Peter Locanda, who at his best was above the average.

After the war he returned to the P. and 0. service, and it was as the result of several transfers of commands consequent upon the retirement of Captain Sudell, commander of the Strathmore, that Captain Carter was appointed to the Mooltan in January, 193 G.
