HAWERA TRAINING TRACKS

(To the Editor)

Sir, —There is' a good number of horses in training here for early spring meetings. Horses with engagements a month ahead are not allowed to gallop on the grass tracks, even if the weather be fine. Now, the course proper is used only twice a year for racing, and surely part of this could he used for training gallops, weather permitting, say three times a week. Hoping some owner will at the* general meeting of the Racing Club draw the attention of those ill charge to this matter, I am, etc.. OWNER AND TRAINER. Hawera.

THE AUSTRALIAN HURDLES

MELBOURNE, July 28. No New Zealanders are included among* the 11 final acceptors for the Australian Hurdles. Received July 29, 10.55 a.m. Lo Forte, 9.0, is an acceptor tor the Australian Hurdles. DERBY DAY AT EPSOM.

RAIN SOAKED CROWDS

The recent Derby won by Manna was run in the fiercest storm of wind and vain ever experienced at, Eposm, and the following from the London Daily Telegraph gives a li,title idea of the pretailing conditions. If company was what a man wanted he could have it at Epsom. The ddhoulty was to get away from it. According to our patriotic poet Devon is the place for wind and rain. Appetites for these delights vary, hut the man, who wanted more of either than there was on Epsom Downs 1 yesterday was unreasonable, Most men wanted less and did what in them lay to get it. Nobody wanted to be to win idward. ‘‘Does he lenow the difieience between windward and leeward?" *says the. undergrad, in Charles Kingsley, and the brutal answer is “He’ll soon find out the difference if his, skin is as wet as mine.” There must-have been a good many wet skins on the Downs yesetrday, and hosts of unhappy people learnt the difference between being to windward and to leeward ol a ’bus, car, a bookmaker’s stand, or even a bookmaker. One might live long and never see .so many folks, huddled. ' Heavy going if was. Before we reached- the stand we discovered that the umbrella and macintosh had been it mistake. The day needed a diving dress and gums -boots. The stand provided something more stable than, an umbrella overhead. But the wind came whistling into it ofiensively, and it was necessary to* study the art of taking cover. Probably not .since the* year when Noah led the winner into the Ark lias a, day been less liked. AVe could see those "rich volumes of vapour” beloved by Mr. AA'ords,worth blowing up over Headley Church to bring us more rain. "Wet makes tilings (shrink, don’t if?” said one expert-., “It.’,s shrunk the crowd.”- It had. The eyes of one deponent have never seem, so much grass on the hill on Derby Day. For such a <l*ay he maintained it was a very good crowd. There is no answer to this ‘argument. Any crowd was a marvel, a magnificent vindication of the-vitality of English tradition and the obstinacy of English character. Mr. Tapley. you remember, was a, gentleman whose of honour it was to he jolly’ in depressing circumstances, and lie* felt that he might have* come* out strong if he had ever found circumstances sufficiently beastly. He ought certainly to have, been at Epsom yesterday. It wav Mark Tapley As Derby Day.
