HAWERA HORSES

TEAM FOR NEW PLYMOUTH FERSEN'S CUP PROSPECTS [by telegraph-—OWN correspondent] HAWERA, Monday Aca Khan and Fersen,, who both won *t Wanganui on Thursday, were restricted to light exercise on the Hawera tracks this morning. Ajja Khan's cup victory was one oi: the best efforts of laia career, and. ha has never looked , better. Yj'ith 9.1 in tho Taranaki Cup next Thursday he will have a much harder ta.sk, and Fersen, whose performances since arriving from Australia have been most encouraging, may be preferred in view of his light impost. Carfex hss been cnusing a lijtle anxiety lately and hia trainer, J. Brown, hat) decided to reserve him for tho Hawera meeting. ' A new arrival on the B.uwera trac.£s iB the Mercis.n King gelding: Doinbey, who was purchased at Xre:atham by Mr. W. Simson, of Waver ley, ovrner of Silver Wines, for 130 guineas. Dombey nhould_ prove a uiieful proposition in the Taranaki district. He is being cared for by W. Grindlay, and on Saturday' QoinEortubly sprinted a coup.> of furlongs in 25js. Golden Hair, wfto has been doing a lot of eteidy work, was allowed to run along over three furlongs in 38!.'. -going very smoothly. She will probably huve a run in tho sixiurlongs event on the second day at Hawera. Friesland has been a little oti-colour einco racing at Trentham and lihowed signs of developing a cold after being exercised on Saturday. , Cynical Kid has. resumed track work after his spell He has pu'. on plenty of condition and eo far there has been no recurrence of foot, trouble. It will probably be Esstei-time before he is asked to rr.ee again. Gibraltar attends I.he track daily, doing ■low work He has a very doubtful-looking leg and will not be cent along until tho tracks become softer. March Alone and Beau Star are the Hawera hurdla representatives to compete at New Plymouth The adage " horses, for courses" applied, and Beau Star won nicely at his last appearance ou the track. Although he has been up only a short tnno after his spell, March Alone has got through 6cm'e solid work and has displayed improvement in schooling. ~ An interesting acceptor for tho Isganiotu Juvenile Handicap is Link Divine, who has gone on iu the right a-ay lately. Ihe Nigger Minstrel—Kecharche filly Exquisite is still B little big in condition and is hardly likely to be fancied jufit yet. The Diacquenod Vivo three-ypar-cld Daivet har, not shown anything.remarkable in his track work. Hawera has two prommnq maidens. Panlof! and Lady Eka. engaged m the Motuloa Electric Hack. .Both have been working attractively. , Silk Sox, Biagano and . St, Clara aro classy hacks and will bo right at the top of their form at New Plymouth, lutri is doing splendidly in his work and should scon reward/bis owner-trainer, J. rryer, vith a win. Onewhetu and Gold Gleam are also likely propositions. v BOOKMAKER TRICKED INCIDENT AT RAND WICK [from our own correspondent] SYDNEY, Jun. 31 A fairly prominent bookmaker was relieved of £lB4 very uimply at the settling over thj anniversary meeting at Randwick this week. A man presented himself, saying that he whs representing a successful investor,'who had to receive £lB4. He knew the details of the wager to t.b'3 exact amount, *nd, not suspecting that there was anything wrone. the bookmaker paid him the money. Shortly after the investor himself came flong to collect liis cash. He denied any knowledge of the earlier collector and staled that he had not given anyone any authority to act for him. ~ , . , The bookmaker had no option but to pay «wt again, and the matter was placed in the hands of the police. It is not uncommon *°r agents to pay and. recu.vo, hut th e V ®'e accredited, and on thifi occasion the bookmaker took a costly risli with an unknown man.
