Sir, An. one of the Krc.it army of racegoers, and one who h.is lost mono;* on mo-'l raco tracks in New Zealand. J liuvo :■ suggestion to make, which, to me, seems feasible and practical, us well an being beneficial to racing in general. Oi.e of the greatest drawbacks troiii a sportins standpoint is the almost impossible tush of picking out your horses colours from (ho multitude of mixed colours at present, in use. My suggestiu is this—the chin to supply the colours, pick out, sn\, 26 dialinet jnckofs that could cosily be lotlowed and on ever? course in New Zealand No. I be, say, white, No. 2 red. No. ,'l black, No. 4 Gold, arid co on. There are objections, of course, and the obstacle of conservatism in the owners: but, at ill we must progress, and, in my opinion, the benefits would outweigh tho objections. Colours as used at present are almost a scientific demonstration of destroying, visibility, and one of the chief reasons why trotting is becoming so ponular i' the fact that you can see your horse plainly throughout, in this ott»e on account of the small track, and enjoy the Brorti and excitement even though you lose your money, Tnos.
