(By KEYSTONE)

London, April 16. ENTY-Seven-Years-Old Eric Eph Smith, an apprentice who learned to ride on a donkey, rode a 10-1 winner in Enversion at Liverpool and thus brought his tally to a winner every day of the week.

E. Smith began by winning the very first race of the season on Ellenborough at Lincoln. Then followed successes on Tetrazone, Flamenco Lincolnshire Handicap), Cyrus, and Sea Bequest Gordon Richards had only three winners during the week.
