CHAMPION TROTTER f PROPOSED GREYHOUND VISIT CLUBS FEAR FINANCIAL LOSS [BY TELEGBAPH —PBESS ASSOCIATION] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday Greyhound, the world champion American trotter, is now unlikely to make the suggested trip to New Zealand for' a series of match races, as officials 'Of the principal trotting clubs in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland donot view the project with the same enthusiasm as its sponsors, a local citizens' committee. There is still a possibility that satisfactory arrangements • may be made, but, if an overseas visitor does come, it is more likely -to be the champion pacer, Billy Direct. • ( The committee of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club met to consider the matter last night , and,' while no official statement has been issued, it is learned that U majority of the members see many, difficulties in the way of arranging the visit without incurring financial loss.
