FLYING TO ENGAGEMENTS
JOCKEY'S EASTER PROPOSAL At least one. jockey was prepared to follow the lead of some of his English confreres this week-end, and journey from meeting to meeting by aeroplane. If such transport had been available A. E. Kllis would have availed himself of the opportunity. He was anxious to be at Ellersiie on Saturday, for besides the mount on Toxeuma, he could have had several other good mounts. An effort was made to arrange the necessary transport, leaving Auckland or Hamilton early on Sunday morning. Riccarton or the nearby Sbckbuni aerodrome would have to reached by 11 a.m. on Easter Monday. Given line, weather, the trip was quite possible, but owing to the late hour at which negotiations were commenced it is doubtful whether the trip will eventuate. Possibilities are opened up, however, for future occasions when big holiday meetings which are widely separated clash. The cost of this mode of transit is still very high, but prominent owners anxious to secure the services of competent horsemen are not likely to let that prove an obstacle.
