CAP AND JACKET
SPORTING- TELEGRAM,
(FRO.U OUll OW>* COKKESFOXDEXT.) CiißiSTCiiintcir. Friday. Everything is deadly dull here since the "bookies" left for the Xorth and I have no news worth the name to send you. Vallance seems very confident about winning y-ur Cup with the Peeress colt. A friend of his told me yesterday that, bar accidents, it was all over. I anticipate too that Billingsgate will once more make a clearance of the short distance events. There was great excitement in sporting circles when the telegram came announcing that a well-known bookmaker had been found late at night and in most suspicious circumstances under one of the beds at the Occidental in Auckland. Later in the day a message arrived saying who it was, which Joe thoughtfully forwarded to Leseur's Oyster Saloon.
