STIRLING MOSS IN HAWKE’S BAY
Hawke’s Bay’s Airport was swamped with one of its largest crowds recently, when world renowned racing driver Stirling Moss arrived for a brief 15 minutes, while flying north after attending the Lady Wigram Trophy Race in Christchurch. He is pictured above, surrounded by a delighted audience of racing enthusiasts.
Short and stocky in build, Stirling was instantly recognised as he came down the gangway, even under the heavy beard.
One of the first autographs collected during Stirling‘s brief visit was by Napier boy Martin Braithwaite (centre, wearing glasses).

ELEPHANT DERBY
Hundreds of children cluster around the elephants, in the process of being “swabbed” after the race, in the main street at Waipukurau.
Mayor Winlove, who threw down the gauntlet and offered the challenge to County chairmen, had his own ideas about how to mount his beast, by means of a light-weight ladder. He delighted the crowd by trying to fit on a saddle.
The racing all over, the elephants were treated to giant sized icecreams almost too heavy for one man to hold.

ROWING REGATTA
One of the largest ever crowds to assemble on the bridge over the Ngauroro [Ngaruroro], was during the recent Hawke’s Bay Rowing Club’s regatta. As the shells raced from the river mouth to a point a little upstream from the bridge, so too did the spectators. They sped from one railing of the structure to the other in slick time and no one managed to get run over. Some 400 rowers took part in the regatta.
