HERO OF THE T.T. RACES. BURNED RIDER WHO WOULD NOT STOP,
RECORD SPEEDS,
Astonishing speeds by tiny-engine"vmo- tor-cycles sad a thrilling side-cnt race brought the Tourist Trophy meeting to a close at Donglas oo June 19th. The meeting bas shown that the motor-evele of to-day is uppreciably faster than it was last year.

W. L. Handley, on a Rex-Arm winner of the junior race, broke the p record for light-weights in the first with a speed of 60.21 miles an honr. He started seventeenth out of nineteen cou petitors, and was sixth at the end of the first lap. His front tyre then burst, and the machine was so fadly damaged that Handley had to retire. Only five competi tors finished.
Age and experience were defented by youth and dash in the last thrilling face between motorcycles with side-cars when L. Parker romped home on a Douglas in record tine..
The acrobatic sidecar race is always the most popular with the crowd, and an ad- ditional thrill was provided to-day by a duel between P.

"Parker is the only amateur rider who has ever won the sidecar T.T. He won ninety first prizes on a Douglas last year, and his machine to-day was a private entry machine, Douglas machines have now secured ons Jerior, one Senior, and two Sidecar T.T. awards.
Harry Reed's passenger, Hooson, had the most remarkable escape of the whole meet ing. Sidecar passengers, in rounding the S-shaped Braddan Bridge, burl themselves. first to one side and then to the other, hanging out as far as they can to keep the machine's balance. The bridge is fringed with a jagged brick wall, and the spectators gasped na they saw Hooson's head ap parently strike the wall. The sidecar was travelling at forty-five miles an hour. I saw something fall from Hooson's head, but the driver, not realising what had hap pened, accelerated.

LORD READING AS SHIP'S BOY. HIS FIRST VOYAGE TO INDIA.
His first voyage to India, as a ship's boy holvatoning decks and polishing brass, was described amusingly by the Earl of Read- Fing, who for many years was M.P. for Reading, when he was the guest of the Reading Chamber of Commerce last month. Lord and Lady Reading were cheered by crowds in the streets and were greeted by the mayor and civic representatives,
Declaring that he could not pretend to have any close connection with India or special qualification for going there as Viceroy, Lord Reading said it was true he had been to India once as a boy of some 17 years of age, sailing in a sailing vessel which ja its voyage proceeded from Rio to Calcutta. He added:
I did not occupy a very high place. My main occupation was cleaning the brasswork and holystoning the deck. (Taughter.) I also did the various work which fell to one in my position when it came to reefing sails, hauling on ropes, and doing any odd jobs of navigation.
On the day I was appointed Viceroy I recalled with a flash of memory that almost passes belief the day when, after being from 2 to & months moored to a quay at Calcutta awaiting a cargo of jute, I stood under the fo'cstle head taking my small part in hearing away on the capstan bar, hauling in a rope in order to pull ourselves to the middle of the river and pass along a hawser to the towboat.
There we sang "Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound" Ar we moved out and as I toiled at my labour T, called a halt and shouted, "I shall never return to India until I como as Viceroy (Laughter.)
