HORSES’ NAMES. TROUBLE JUDGE AND CROWN SOLICITOR. (Special to the Times.) AUCKLAND, Feb. 10. Speaking of the limited knowledge of tlie turf iu certain exalted spheres a writer iu the Star says that even Mr. Justice Blair and the assistant Crown Solicitor (Mr. Hubble) could not have named, until this week in particular, the bundle of nerves encased in skin which won the Grand National Hurdles last year. In a
case of alleged bookmaking, Mr. Hubble consistently blundered every time he bad to mention the name ot Wharnclifie, while His Honor came to grief badly when, after having some difficulty in remembering Wharnclifie and Rarangi, be consistently' referred to Day Bell as Day Girl. The Rev. Jasper Calder tells a story’ of a small boy at Sunday School who was asked ‘‘Who. was Paul?” Like a. hash the answer came: ‘‘A bay horse, by St. Leger— Satauella.” But even this is beaten into the ground by a man who lor a ivager, traced the pedigree of the mighty Ormonde right back to Balaam’s ass!
