—————_.——__—______. ______ UP m Auckland the big man is Fred Earl, King's Counsellor, andibefore, to-day it has been said of him that he has "the wood."

In other words, his word Is something m the nature of final. Such an assertion is very much open to doubt, for the conference officials are not the sort to stand for any interference. Fred: Earl is one of the Auckland Club's representatives at this week's conference' a n d under his felt hat is a good and '

sound knowledge, of racing law. He knows the game m theory and also m practice, for he has had to. pay for his experience. , Racing horses opens one's eyes more than a fraotion and as F.E. has had his colorß carried all round, the northern part of the island he has seen and inwardly digested a few thingsgood, bad and indifferent. Just at the present time a lot of people m Auckland would like to have a piece of him on the question of the ten-shilling tote at Ellerslie. But that is another story.
