WAR PAINT'S TROPHIES

ONE FOR EACH PARTNER

An interesting position arose with regard to the distribution of the trophies won at Epsom by the pacer War Paint, who is owned by Dr. M. G. Pezaro and Mr. E. G. Bridgens. When the mare won the Jellicoe Handicap on Saturday, the owners decided that the canteen of cutlery presented by Mr. H. C. McCoy should go to Mr. Bridgens, managed of Bridgens and Co., Ltd., boot manufacturers, who had donated a similar trophy for the Labour Day Handicap yesterday. War Paint again proved equal to the occasion and this time the canteen wont into the possession of Dr. Pozaro, making the partners all squaro. Mr. Ernest Davis, Mayor of Auckland, made the presentation. . By her two successes War Paint placed her owners at the head of tho winning list with £420.
