TROTTING HORSE SERIOUSLY.
INJURED
I J’eu I’iikss Association.l AUCKLAND, Dec. 27. A dastardly act which savors of an old-time racing novel was perpetrated at Mr. Bartlet's stables at Ellerslie on Saturday night,when the trotting horse Rothschild Junior was nobbled. From what can be gathered, some miscreant got into the horse’s box, and rubbed nis hock with a strong acid. When the horse lay down his body was burned in several jdaces, and the unfortunate animal has since been in a bad way. Rothschild Junior was owned by Mr. Nicholls, of Christchurch, and was favored for the Auckland Trotting Cup, which'is to be run to-morrow.. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police. The Auckland Trotting Club is offering a* reward of £IOO and Mr. Nicholls £SO for evidence which will lead to the conviction of the offender.
