It is with real regret that have learnt of the death yester day of Fighting Star, that very shapely Derby griffin belonging to the Kong stable.

T. A. Pearce and Eric Mitchell, who have been playing in the Interport golf match, Rev. H. W. Baines, G. R. 3. Ricketts and A. H. Madar, are staying in the North for a short while before returning.
