All Caution And

How did the Queen relax during her few, so very few, off-duty days before departing on her Commonwealth tour? At least one of those days was spent quietly at spacious and gracious Warren Place, Newmarket, where Landau, the classic black coll we citizens have leased to Her Majesty from the National Stud, is wintering well on the best oats money can buy.

Within Reach Of Victory
Johannesburg, Dec. 29.
New Zealand need 165 runs, with seven wickets in hand, to beat South Africh in the second Test and win their first Test against any country,
The position at the close of play yesterday was: South Africa-271 and 148; New Zealand-187 and 68 for three.
A win is well within the reach of New Zealand today -the final day--with their captain and opening batsman, Geoff Rabone, still batting after 143 minutes and dynamic John Reid still to cofne,
