(Dill) Edwards, of Canterbury, the most successful reinsman at the recent Nelson fixture, being escorted into the bird cage by the red COj it man on four occasions. Mis ln x S T were scored through the agency of Neerson. Direct Wave, Great Amazon and Lincoln Huon. The Y&ldhurst driver also collected second place ®oney with Direct Wave and Great Amazon, and had a profitable trip to the fruit area.
