HECTOR GRAY’S TROUBLES. By Telegraph—Press Association NEW PLYMOUTH, April G. Reduced from a position of affluence as the leading jockey in the Dominion to a state of penury, Hector Gray met his creditors in New Plymouth to-day in bankruptcy. He attributed his failure to a sentence of life disqualification from the pursuit of his profession, and his creditors on the whole were sympathetic, instructing the Assignee to facilitate his discharge, providing the investigation of his estate proved satisfactory. Unsecured creditors totalled £939, and after realisation of assets, bankrupt estimated his deficiency at £324. He disclosed that lie now had no interest in any racehorses, and said he had lost £15,000 on two farming ventures.
