TO-DAY'S MATCHES
Winning Ways of Old Brown Jack
Tired After Sixth Win In
-Alexandra Stakes
London, June 23.
THEY can now start spring cleaning Brown Jack's stable at Wroughton. He has run away with the Alexandra Stakes, the longest race in England, again.
They do not dare to touch his stable before the race, which, after his six successive wins, is now known as "Brown Jack's Benefit."
To-day he was a little sleepy, like an elderly bachelor after a night out.
He sat on his manger in that characteristic squat and blink- ed his eyes at the visitors. He did not show any animation even when they gave him a slice of his favourite Cheddar cheese.
Old Brown Jack, whom sporting writers call the stayer of the century, the only horse who gets an unrestrained cheer from Ascot, is a confirmed bachelor of slightly cynical outlook. He has a luxurious taste, refusing to wear anything but linen next his skin.

He knows as much about rac- ing as his trainer, Iver Anthony, and he refuses to get excited or his jockey, Steve Donoghue, about the business...
STEVE'S WONDER RIDE AT

Donoghue Sets All Paris Talking
Paris, June 26.
All Paris to-day is talking about the wonderful riding of Stove Donoghue at Longchamp yesterday, when he won the Grand Prix on Admiral Drake.
When the runners and jockeys were put up on the number board most of the betting had been done, and the race was run without many among the great crowd in the atanda knowing who was riding last- Admiral Drake. It was minute decision that Donoghue should ride.
