The return of the ponies from Shanghai and their participation in. Saturday's racing was very welcome, and the surprise victory of Tar macadam will be, the talk in racing gireles for some days. By the way, I hear that a certain pupular, rac ing-man is already making a book the forthcoming Champions (1930), and is giving very generous odds all round I do not wish to dwell on the odds, but from the fact that long prices are being offered it is safe to assume that the race is very open affair, and I think it will be no easy matter to pick the winner'a week off the races, let alone three months ahead,

VIGOROUS ATTACK ON DEAN INGE.
LABOUR M.F.'S REPLY TO HIS
"BIOLOGICAL BOSH."
"..
A vigorous reply to" Dean Inge's attack on the Labour party, was recently made by Mr. Fred Mon- tague, Under Secretary for Air, when he spoke at West Islington.
Mr. Montague said thas the very.. reverend gentleman who some time ago described the Labour party as being mainly composed of wastrels, blackguards, and incompetents had again been writing biological bosh. It was strange that a dean of a christian church should invariably measure English culture and char- neter by incomes, yet that was what that authority on mysticism and Greek literature invariably did. The middle classes, nccording to the Dean, were mentally and physically the finest specimens of humanity to be found anywhere, and yet were being squeezed out of existence ruthlessly for the benefit of the State-sulaidised, working classes.
"All this is prejudiced and un- christian
nonsense. Dean. Inge knows very well that a very small minority of any class live the serene cultured life he admires, and he ought to know that intellectual empacity, if not education on pub- lie school lines, is no monopoly of any class. As for physique, let him go down to the docks or come to a West Islington goods yard. The Dean's gibes at working men are
