It is reported that an attempt upon Our Thorpe’s mile record of 2min 6 l-ssec will be made by Cathedral Chimes at the patriotic trotting meeting to be held in Christchurch on October 5. The Forbury Trotting Club have reappointed Mr. Brinkman handicapper, Mr. Dunne starter, Mr. Leedham judge, and Messrs. Gore and Hazlett timekeepers, and have authorised stakes amounting to £l5OO for the spring meeting. Cathedral Chimes is quoted at a very sh'ort price for the New Zealand Trotting Cup. He has ruled the market since the entries were made, but since the declaration of handicaps he has firmed down to almost a shadow.
