The old steeplechaser Mangere was despatched from the scene of his late success, Sydney, by Paddy Nolan, on May 10, and was safely landed in Auckland on May 15. The old son of Billingsgate is apparently as sound as ever again, and is a living evidence of what can be done to a crippled horse by skilled treatment About three years ago it was thought that Billingsgate’s eon had hopelessly broken down. His trainer, an ex perienced man, even thought so, but the apparently hopeles H case was taken in hand by Mr W. H. Patterson, of Otahuhu, with what wonder ful success we now know, as Mangere is himself again. A few months ago he was taken ever to A udralia, and won at Bandwick. He has returned to his native land to continue his racing career, and will appear at Ellerslie in June.
