Amazing fortune, has befallen Miss Nita Helm, a clerk, of Barrow-in-Furness. Given a ticket in the Stock Exchange Sweep by her employer, she drew Felstead and has won the first prize of £125,000. :
Miss Helm is 35 years of age, and says she has no idea' what to do with all the money.
Another lucky stroke of fortune, in a somewhat different category, is revealed by the holder of the ticket for the favourite, Fairway, in the Calcutta Sweep. A Police Com- missioner stationed in the wilds of West Africa, he closed with an offer of £27,000 for a half share in his ticket.
The third prize in the Calcutta Sweep, amounting to some £50,000, goes to Scotland, the lucky holder being Mr. Thoman McEwan, of Isle of Cumbrae. He sold a quarter of the ticket for £600.

The Derby attracted a record crowd, and the favourite Fairway never appeared in the race at any time, Felstead was among the leaders till two furlongs from home when he burst past Flamingo, which had led throughout, and making the rest of the running, won easily.
