JOCKEY RETURNS
f. McGovern s trip RIDING IN INDIA The New Zealand jockey. F. McGovern. returned to Auckland by the Ulimaroa this morning after a trip to Australia. He recently spent some time in India under engagement to Mr. W. Coomber, one of the best-known racing men in Ceylon. F. McGovern returned to New Zealand for the Northern meeting and then went back to Sydney. However, he contracted malaria and has come back to Auckland for a holiday. He intends to return to India under engagement to some of the sportsmen there, as he firmly established himself on his last trip. Jockeys for India are engaged by the jockey clubs, and not by individual owners. His ambition seems to be to ride for some of the Indian princes, as many of them have very fine stables.
