The Sport of Kings.

Some Auckland owners of trotters got all that was due to them last Saturday, when four members of the light-harness tribe were dispatched to the Waikato meeting by motor-van, which broke down and caused the pacers to miss important engagements (says the “N.Z. Sportsman”). With a good railway service and all modern appliances at their disposal, the owners were foolish in not making full use of the State transport service. Motor-vans are alright in their way, but the “iron-horse for the racehorse” should be the axiom every time. The letters N.Z.R. represent the acme of safety and comfort and—don't forget—you, I and all of us are the registered holders of that popular trade-mark.
