Commenting on Carrington’s win in the Winter Handicap at the V.R‘C. Steeplechase Meeting, the Melbourne correspondent of the Sydney Referee says “ I think there was more reefiing and pulling than in any event I have seen for some time. Owners know that they can do what they like under the eyes of the Flemington stewards. Such a thing as an enquiry is never thought of, yet, barring, perhaps Caulfield, there is more shunting done there than on any other course in Austraiia.” Tim Swiveller, the V.R.C. Grand Nations l Hurdles winner, was purchased by his present owner, the Hon. G. Davis, for He had been sold as a foal at foot with his dam to Mr H. Smyth, of Briagolong, Gippsland. Mr T. W. Hungerford’s horses Wakawatea, The Dreamer and Heather Bell did not, on their arrival in Sydney, go as was generally expected to Randwick, but were taken to Wollongong, where their owner has a big contract to fulfil. And Mr T.W.H. likes to have them under his own eye, as those who have trained and ridden for him in the past can testify. A Christchurch scribe is responsible for the statement that M. Edwards has retired business as a public trainer of trotters, and is about to become a commercial traveller. B. Edwards will continue to train trotters, and will remove with his team to Auckland, so as to be m time for the Auckland Trotting Club s Spring Meeting.
