Apart from the second horse, Mincola, none of the five horses Colonel Payne beat would fetch more than 50 guineas at auction. It was in 1936 that Miss Paget paid the huge figure of 15,000 guineas for the colt by Fairway-Golden Hair,

In addition to Second League com mitments, the club will also play in the London Combination, but though the directors state they are not t pay fancy prices and will seek to make their own stars, Midland Mid- week League membership has been relinquished.

Then, says Mr. Everiss, they will have a team recond to none in the Second Division.
