An intones passion for taking a chanca is an outstanding characteristic of the Chinese race. This was demonstrated when Chinese formed almost the whole of a crowd of some 10,000 that thronged the Canidrome grandstand to see the drawing of the first National State Lottery, which lasted from 1.30 p.m. to 8.15 p.m. The excellent picture above shows a portion of the great gathering and indicates clearly the anxiety and close attention with which the watchers followed the draw, many jutting down'. the numbers as they were announced. The picture inset shows the three drums from which the numbers were drawit-those of the tickets from the large one in the centre and that on the left, and of the prizes from that on the right. The small engraved tank balls are seen being poured into the middle drum. Froin beneath the drums run nar row brass.channela down which the reļosund balls rolled to the announcers. The ticket that won the first prizo-299237--came down after two unsold tickets had been drawn.

As I had to reduce some seven or eight pounds off my normal bodyweight in order to enable me to compete in the J-stone' `class, I had to go. Into very atrenuous training, and with the help of Phosferinic, I not only won the cham- plonship of that class, but also the In- dividual Championship, and, in addition I broke a British Record.
I therefore have no hesitation in re- commonding Phosforine to any physical culturist or athlete, whether he be in ordinary training or preparing for a competition, as it
