STRATHROY SAID TO BE SUFFERING FROM FEVER
Louis XIV Has Benefitted From Summer Rest
BEST OF NEW AUSTRALIAN PONIES
(By "RAPIER")
►ACING enthusiasts await with enthusiasm for the commence- commence on Saturday, September 24, all arrangements for which have now been completed.
As a result of careful nursing, the track is in really splendid condition, but the rails have been moved inward, and I am afraid that the bend coming into the straight will prove a little difficult when big fields try to negotiate the corner.
