Our Illustrations.
This week’s issue contains a series of Duaedin pictures taken to our order by Messrs Armstrong and Green during the progress of the recent meeting at the Forbury. Two pictures give views of the course and grandstand, from which a very fair idea can be obtained of the accomodation provided by the Dunedin Jockey Club The finish for the Cup is depicted with Gipsy Grand striding home with his opponents nowhere in sight. A photo also appears of the winner, from which it will be seen that the Grandmaster horse is a splendidly-proportioned animal. They say that he is as good as Carbine. He is certainly a much handsomer horse than the famous son of Musket Bombshell, who carried off the Champagne Stakes for Mr Stead, is also pourtrayed, and so are Hippomenes and Maremma, winners of the Consolation and Publicans’ Handicaps respectively.
