LATE SPORTING.
PRINCE POINTER CREATES A NEW AUCKLAND RECORD. (Special to the “fytar.”) AUCKLAND. November 25. A notable performance was achieved by the Canterbury horse Prince Pointer in the Fergusson Handicap, two miles, at Alexandra Park yesterday. Starting from a handicap of 132. yards behind, Prince Pointer trotted the distance in 4min 22sec, which is a record for the Auckland course, and is only l-ssec outside the record of 4min 21 4-ssec put up by Author Dillon in running third in the New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington in 1920. Prince Pointer could have improved on the time if he had been driven out, but when it was seen that Jewel had an unassailable lead, the driver eased him up.
