From Our Own Correspondent APIA, December 18.
A T a recent meeting of the Apia Turf Club it was decided to erect a cement post suitably inscribed in memory of the veteran Samoan racehorse Buster, near the spot where the horse at the last race meet ing broke his leg and had to be shot.
The Turf Club also resolved to import a good stallion, which will be made avail able to European and Samoan horse owners. The present breed of horses in Samoa needs freshening up badly, especi ally as lately interest in horse racing has revived to a remarkable extent.
Captain M. C. Fairbrother, A.D.C. to the late Administrator of Samoa and formerly of the Treasury Department, returned to New Zealand with his wife by the Maui Pomare from Apia early in December.
