UGLY DUCKLING
But Handsome Is As Handsome Does
COMPRIS COMEDY (From "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) POMPRIS, which is set down to do V his Christmas racing a.t Dunedin, is a very plain individual, and when produced m front of a strange crowd will no doubt have some very uncomplimentary remarks passed about him. It has been rumored that he was the pack horse used to carry the material used m the construction of the dam at Lake Coleridge, so deep is the hollow m his back. Nevertheless his ungainly ap-' pearance has not interfered with his galloping ability, as has been proved on several occasions now. He raced last season without any success, but was pronounced by more than one to be the makings of a good one. ' And when a would-be buyer approached his people regarding. .. .his purchase, the figure, .placed upon him, at that time, looked'too much. , However, that is now a matter for I conjecture.
