A FOOTBALLER'S FAME.
NAME FOR A RACEHORSE.
It was bound to come. Nepia has been selected as a likely name for a horse. At a meeting of tho board of the New Zealand Trotting Association in Christchurch, Mr. W. J. Humphreys made an application to change the name of his colt Westward Ho to Nepiy. He stated that the people to whom he intended to lease the horse objected to tho name of Westward Ho. The colt was a three year-old and had never been r;,ced.
The Chairman (Mr. P. Sclig) : I see no reason to object to it. Mr. J. William:-.: Ought we to allow this horse to be called Nepia. Is he a black hor=e ?
The Chairman (reading the application) : No, a bay. Mr. U. W. Kitchingham: It is a good name. He is a good fullback. A Member: He might alwavs be a fullhack.
It was decided to hold over the application till information is obtained as to whom the horse is to be leased.
