A RACECOURSE IDOL
CONFINED IN PUBLIC POUND BEAU CAVALIER SUFFERS INDIGNITY. (Special to Daily Times.) AUCKLAND, June 20. Five or six years ago the idol of New Zealand’s racing crowds, the famous jumper, Beau Cavalier, this week suffered the indignity of being confined in a public pound. The winner of the Great Northern Steeplechase, the Wellington Steeplechase, and the Grand National Steeplechase in 1927, and of the Great Northern Hurdles and'Winter Hurdles at Trentham in 1928, Beau Cavalier'was the subject of the following notice displayed on the pound gate at Te Papapa, Onehunga:—“ Impounded at 3 p.m. on June 19, one bay horse with one white foot unshod (lame), white stripe down nose; found straying in Wall’s road.” . , • Beau Cavalier spent Monday night in the pound and to-day was claimed by his owner, Mr A. G. Quartley, of Auckland, who had been communicated with by letter by the poundkeeper. Mr Quartley states that the horse must have been deliberately let out of the paddock in which he was grazing. He was upset on hearing of the plight in which his old champion had been placed.
