YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

With the weather much im- proved, yesterday's races-the second day of the third extra meeting-were highly successful except, possibly, for the majority of punters who followed current form.

More. "upsets" to the talent were recorded and it was only in the Inst race of the day that the favourite bore "out expectations. There were not so many unusual-

big dividends but the returns on the "tote" were well above the average, and Mr. Nemazce, riding Curiosity Shop in the big event, brought $207.50 to each of his forty backers.

Local cinéma-goers have seen pictures such as the flaher girl in Miss Alice Lake in successfuls-KEMPTON "Should a Woman Tell?" and the not dissimilar but more am- bitious role in James A. Herne's "Shore Acres."

This forthcoming screen pro-i fluction, a story of a girl art student in Paris, will give the young actress a character rather different, it is understood; a departure from the girl-in-ging- ham parts. It is a romance of the Latin Quarter: and Miss Lake, say, those who have seen. the picture, proves as piquant in the Parisian atmosphere as if she had been born and raised within a stone's throw of the Seine.,
