A cold wind swept the Valley racecourse this morning and skies were threatening rain, when tho fourth day's programinė of the annual racing carnival opened.
The track appeared still to be on the soft side and the going promised to be slow.

Tighter Police Control
The Germans are still not satisfled with the attitude of the Dutch police. Many Dutch Nazis have been drafted into the police forces, and street pat- rols by Dutch Nazi blackshirts, arc often attacked and beaten up during
