Rapine is a wonderful performer, but his achievements, great as they undoubtedly are, must pale into insignificance when compared with those credited to “KATJA.” who has broken all known records in Australia. “Katja” easily conqured “The Maid of the Mountains*’ and “Katinka” in Sydney and Melbourne, and she is now establishing new records throughout New Zealand. “Katja,” who is at the very top of her form, will be brought to Wellington by a special train on Saturday, and she will be produced here for the first time on Monday next From the rise of the barrier “Katja” proves herself a wonderful beginner, she maintains a solid pace throughout, and, like Rapine, she finishes at a terrific pace. Although “Katja” is the hottest favourite yet known in New Zealand, her backers, nevertheless, are guaranteed a real good divvy. The tote opens on Friday morning. Grand opera house, rand opera house.
