Kqmehameha Refuses lt'\-y : : Last ; Fence-),: : 'y (From' "N.Z. Truth" s" Auckland Rep.) If ever a horse had enough of it Intone race that horse was Ka-.. mehameha.in the Winter Steeplechase at Ellerslie. liGUNDING the corner for home he *\ was m line with Kawini, but he was showing distinct signs of distress arid plainly shirked his task. . . ■■'. Ilider McGovern did his best to urge. "Kame" onward; and. really, got tlfe. aged son of Demosthenes to the last

obstacle, but' jump it "Kama" would not.; . He simply, refused. He displayed a will of- his own , m the matter, and what looked like a certain £200 second money prior to the home turn was lost to popular owner Denny Moraghan. It may have been hard to take for Denny, but he showed no outward signs and probably enjoyed the humor of the thing as everybody else did.
