Lawn Derby: From the Sydney Referee: “The frequent excuses for Lawn Derby—wet track, jumping tan crossings, crowding, etc. —make one think that he is definitely short of those elusive and rare characteristics that make a real champion. He is the best, in Australia without, doubt, but whether he is the best, in New Zealand is still to bo proved. Ho certainly travelled a. mile in the fastest, time Australians or New Zealanders have known, but in races and subsequent limes tests ho has failed.” It is ju,st as well that this comes from Australia.
