PETER PAN BECOMES SORE

RACING CIRCLES PERTURBED. NEW ZEALANDERS AT SYDNEY. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 10 p.m. Sydney, Sept. 1. Racing circles are perturbed over adverse reports regarding Peter Pan, last year's Melbourne Cup winner, who has developed, muscle soreness. The owner, Mr. R. Danger, was hitherto hopeful of again capturing the cup. He admitted to-day that it might be necessary to relieve Peter Pan of forthcoming important engagements, and if he does not show an improvement his preparation will not be persevered with. Peter Pan galloped very poorly yesterday. The New Zealanders Autopay, Silver Scorn, Dole and Golden Hair are engaged in to-morrow’s Canterbury Stakes, six furlongs, with the champion Chatham heading the weights. The result of the event is being watched for closely. TROTTING ASSOCIATION. APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS. By .Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night.
