ROYAL CHIEF’S OWNER

HEADS TRENTHAM LIST WANGANUI MANS SHARE Through the successes which attended Royal Chief’s efforts in the' Trentham Stakes and the Harcourt Stakes, Mr. A. K. Firth, of Christchurch, topped the list of winning owners at the Wellington Racing Club’s spring meeting, which concluded on Monday. As Royal Chief is the first horse which has carried Mr. Firth's colours, that owner has achieved an early distinction. The Beau Pere gelding Amigo, winning two of the juvenile events, placed Mr. L. G. Paul, of Wanganui, also the breeder of this fine youngster, in second position. Amigo’s easy wins suggest that he was one of the unlucky runners in the Wellesley Stakes last Thursday. Mr. T. A. Duncan was fifth on the list, Mr. J. Bull tenth, Mr. F. F. Newman twelfth and Mr. G. M. Currie 14th, with Mr. W. McA. Duncan and Mr. Russell Grace also prominent on the list. The distribution of stakes was as follows:

D. Grant, £365; F. F. Newman, £345; R. J. Murphy, £330; G. M. Currie, £330; D. J. Barry, £315; R. T. Reid, £300; G. Gunn, £280; C. W. Boyd, £260; B. Burgess, £240; W. McA. Duncan, £210; W.
