Jack Lowe Collected Some South Money AA . ( - '' ' A STAYER WITH SPEED (From "N.Z. .-, Truth's" Special Christchurch Representative.) '■i In addition to lifting a good share of Otago and Southland gilt, Jack Lowe had the satisfaction of seeing* his patience rewarded with. his Australian-bred horse Glare. /

HE was the outstanding performer at the /southern meetings,, and! made A A, it a vex'y merry Christmas and happy New Year "for. Jack. ' , His two perfor.ina.nces ■at the South--land 'meeting were of the best class. With the apprentice, Fred. 'Fergus, aboard m the Invercargill

Cup, he made, the field look cheap over tlie last couple of furlongs. , -Night, Lad; Latin Quarter , and! , were; all m 'it When they turned home, A^butyqrice' Glare was; asked to gallop he drew Abut and smashed; up ;the .field on a track that gave the runners no assistance. . With an extra stone on his back he gave a better • performance on the second day m the Southland Handicap.

' V He began better than usual and held a good position on the rails till crossing the top, where the apprentice ' Ingram, on Circulation, squeezed up on the inside of him. He lost his "possie" and was badly placed m a pocket when the field turned the last corner, and he didn't get clear

until about one hundred and fifty yards from the post. _ ,' 'He was then conceding Circulation, Latin Quarter and' "Night Lad about twp lengths start. *<■' , ,But when Emerson got to him he mowed them down like a lot of second-raters arid won hand-

somely. It .was ' one of the best races seeri on the track for years. Glare has? inherited all the family stamina from his dam's side, and m each of his four faces m the south he stayedAbri well. Unlike the rest 'of* the company, . he was showing, his best; speed at the end. of his races. He was a . class above "the handicap coriipany he met, and there Vis a good mile arid a-half Arace •waiting for

j ./hirii before 1 ;long. He has a ton of speed when: it is wanted. . ' It is pf obable' : that his next start wiir.be iri the Wellington Cup. y Lowe has hurried the Australian horse, and he hasAmade a - lot of improvement Asince ,he raced at Riccarton. "■ A. : y'yA Ay •>: ■'■ \
