S.W. Lee Heads List Of Successful Owners
I WAS DELIGHTED to see Mr S. W. Leo heading the list of successful owners with two wins, a second and a third, because he has a string of about three dozen ponies including a couple of hacks. He has won an aggrogate of $2,550, con- tributed by Blue Field, Baffin Bay, West Lake and Double
Finesse.
Order Of Finishes
GOOD SPORT was undoubtedly enjoyed by all the race-goers, who had certainly the full value of their money, and there were a few re- cords broken,
The introduction of a clause prac tienlly forcing owners not to run their ponies out of distances was not only well commended, but it was instru mental in keeping the field down to those which our track could really hold.
Those who have gone down the sink" must admit that there were not many runaway victories. Tho segregation of defeats shows the following results:

Time Of Its Racing Career: Jockeys Suspended And Reprimanded
WITH HEAVY CLOUDS hanging above, Mr Clerk of the Weather that there was a tremendous crowd of racegoers present on both days of did not open the tap on either Saturday or Monday last with the result
the Easter Race Meeting. There were several close and exciting finishes and complimentary remarks were heard about the fine results of the handi- cap events.
Outstanding feature of the Easter Carnival was the disastrous running of Mrs Grasett's Sapper in the Albury Handicap from the 11⁄2 mile post (about half mile 170 yards), and this was the first occasion that the pony's saddle-cloth number was not hoisted in the semaphore since he started his racing career in 1940.
It may, however, be interest- ing to know that. It was also Sapper's first attempt over a short distance, and on top of this, the sailor jockey (Proulx) was put aboard at the eleventh hour" because the usual pilot was suspended.

First Knock-out Of His Career
FOR the first time in his 20 years of boxing, the veteran Larry Galns, former British Empire heavy- weight champion, was knocked out at Liverpool.
. He was beaten by Jack London, West Hartlepool heavy-weight. The knock-out came in the fourth round. Gains only once previously failed to finish a fight. When, in 1834, he lost his Empire title to Jack Peter- sen, the contest was stopped in the 13th round.

H. Lindrum. Makes Snooker Break Of 142
HORACE LINDRUM, playing re- cently at the Goulburn club (new South Wales) made a break pt snooker of 142.
The score was 6-2, 6-4 and was at one time 6-2, 5:0.
The Teul brothers played accurate and hard game, which would no doubt have been a pleasure to watch had the opposition been able to sustain the ralles. As it happen- ed the match occupied only about half an hour.
Though the losers were scarcely extended by Kong and Fung in the previous round, they themselves scarcely extended the Tsuis. The elder brother brought off some overhead: smashes. grand
