Phur Lap's Record. Pike has done the bulk of the riding, and it would be intcreating to know just how much money he kas netted since his association with the chestnut. He has won 17 races on Phar Lap; incidentally re- cording his first Melbourne Cup -triumph---

It has been strikingly illustrated by Phar Lap what wealth can be accumulated by a champion race- horse. He lifted H. R. from practical obscurity, making a fortune for him in a few short months, while Pike, in a little more than half an hour's actual riding- 41 min. 94. sec., to be exact, has made £2,000.

To describe as golf a contraption on which a golf ball and a putter are used, where the idea is to make a sort of cannon off the cushioned side, or which demands that the ball must pass through the front door to get into the cellar, le unintelligent and an insult to the game.

Bearded Cricketers. The "aboriginal blacks," as they were known, created considerable interest throughout England. So many people had become familiar with their dark skins and beards that it was little wonder that the bearded men in Dave Gregory's famous eleven of 1878 should have been confused with the real sborigines.

He batted two hours and 10 minutes for his 73, and earned an ovation from the crowd. Mullagh's cutting and driving were said to be brilliant.
