Racing Equipment in Australia
Facilities at racecourses in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane were- inspected by Mr F. T. H. Bell, secretary of the Canterbury Jockey Club, and Mr W. R. Main, manager of the Riccarton racecourse, who have returned to New Zealand by flyingboat. Mr Bell said he had made a special examination of the starting barriers used in Australia, and had gathered some new ideas which it might be possible to inaugurate in New Zealand. He would make a report to his committee on his return to Christchurch.— (P.A.) Wanganui Women’s Golf The Wanganui provincial women's open golf tournament was won yesterday by Miss J.
