The death occurred last week of Mr C King, one of the Dominion's leading reinsmen several years ago.
King was attached to C S Donald's establishment, first at Addington and later at Belfast. King was with Donald for a good number of years and rode and drove many winners from the stable. He won the Ashburton Cup and Easter Handicap with Lindbergh, and also won the Ashburton Cup in 1945 with Happy Man, a horse he was also successful with in the NZ Free-For-All. King also drove Sprayman to win the NZ Sapling Stakes, and Twenty Grand to win the Westport Cup.
After several years with Donald, King transferred to Santa Rosa Farm at Halswell, where he was also successful as a reinsman.
