HURRAH FOR THE EXTRA 75 ATHLETES

THE. CHINA-MAIL,” TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1956.
Cut Down Those Olympic £650-a-head Officials
Says DESMOND HACKETT
Three hearty British red, white and blue patriolic cheers for the news that Britain is sending a team of 225 athletes to the Olympic Games in Melbourne-an Increase of 75. This is a 75-splendoured thing.
After enjoying the tremendoue friendship of the Canadians during the past week 1 can appreciate how much the Australians will hail this salute from Britain.

By RICHARD BAERLEIN
Ascot's Festival of Britain Stakes inaugurated in 1951 and now known as the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes undoubtedly revolutionised the racing calendar as far as classic three and four-year-olds were concerned.
The next big revolution in the racing calendar will occur next year at York, where Major Petch is starting two valuable races, the Great Voltigeur Sweepstakes and the Yorkshire Oaks.
