Wellington Races Offer Excitement in Dual Divisions

Porter horses were accepted for the Improvers Handicap forcing two divisions due to jockey shortages. Seymour rode a treble and Rowe a double, with Mr J Leary’s Precious Time, Mr Kerr’s Silment, and Mr Millgate’s Silbrooke each winning as favourites. The Lumprovers Handicap first division featured a disputed finish with Garuflan of note. The Wild Cat led a tight finish but Chatham’s Pride, ridden by Rowe, won by a head amid crowd reaction and a later tribute to late starter Mr Gardner.

Mill Whistle Ends As Steam Gives Way To Electricity

The Willmanger, Mr W Cook, told the Times the steam whistle endures as a nearly public institution. The mill will dispose of the steam main and cease operations in the next fortnight while the electric motor is installed. The motor will provide a more convenient power source and remove the need for Cox as the time signal. Admirers praised the whistle for decades as Wellington’s hours regulated. Protests when the whistle failed proved its strong support, and the change prompts questions about tradition and production order.
