PROPOSED TROTTING MATCH.
Tn Melbourne there are two rival trotting men; they are both Scotchmen, and each is named Robertson. John Robertson owns the famous Osterley, and A. Robinson the celebrated Digitalis. They have been finessing for some time with a view to getting a match, and in a late
issue of The Sportsman ” John Robertson is to the fore with a challenge to trot Osterley against Digitalis, mile heats, two out of three, or the best three out of five and one two mile heat. A few single-handed contests like this would revive the interest in trotting in Auckland.
