Behind the scenes the stewards Monday. This morning there and honorary officials of the was fairly big crowd of Jockey Club have been perfecting "clockers" on the rails. arrangements for the forthcom- ing racing carnival.

Ten thousand persona celebrated the deliverance of Jerusalem from the rule of Turkey on the seventh anniversary of General Allenby's triumphant entry into the Holy Land.
