SUPERB RIDING BY Four Victories In One Afternoon: St. Leger A Sad Disappointment
RACING WAS SUPERB and so was the riding of Mr. Donald Black, who piloted four ponies to victory, in all the Australian events at the Eleventh Extra Meeting hold at Happy Valley last Saturday. The "wee Scot" was in groat form, three wins being scored with short head decision and the fourth by a margin of a lengtb. I have no recollection that such a fino achievement has been accomplished before by any jockey and it must be admitted that the performance was certainly a creditable one.
The Hongkong St. Leger, which was the main event on
the card, opened sensationally
after the telegraph-board had gone up. Burford was to be
ridden by Mr. Black, Dupont
Bay by Mr. Hearne and O-Lan by Mr. Needa.

Two Bridge players can use the DUO-BRIDGE Board anywhere and at any time; there is no need to go out to the Club on these black nights.
You will enjoy it in any situation, because. It is the very best Bridge game for two people yet invented,
Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome, We are well aware of them-but they do not affect the character of the game in any way. Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play. It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, Indeed the hands have been very carefully selected
