CHARIOT-RACING REVIVAL,

Chariot-racing as a sport shows promise, of revival after a lapse of several hundred years. The vivid presentations of this exciting sport of olden days on the cinema, and especially in the film version of Ben-Hur," are to a great extent responsible for the stimulation of public interest, and aiready a syn dieate is in the process of formation with a view to popularising chariot racing.

The thrills of these contests are ansurpassed by any other form of sport-as those who visited the circuses which for the first time this year introduced a display of chariot-racing into their programmes can testify.

Take a lesson from the golfer. Practise without a ball. Regard the swing as the foundation on which you are to build strokes of every variety. But do the thing correct 1. and take a lively and strenuous interest in it. You stand sideways always, left foot in front for the forehand, right foot leading for the bankhand. You are swinging to hit a ball along the line from shoulder to shoulder, not on a line from front to back through your chest.

When Pindner landed a similar blow during the fifth round the ap peal for a foul was granted. It is said that Pladner received £2,000. for his end of the purse.

PROVISIONAL CHOICES FOR TOUR NEXT YEAR:

be definitely chosen about two months before sailing, and the party will leave England in the second week of April, 1930, returning in the" second week in October:

Full-backs.-K. A. Sellar (Royal Navy), T. W. Brown (Bristol).

Three-quarters.-G. W. Stepher- son (North of Ireland), J. B. Ganly (Monkstown). C. D. Anrvold (Head. ingly), W. M. Simmers (Glasgow Academicals), G. P. S. Macpherson (Edinburgh Academicals), I. S. Smith (Edinburgh University), A. L. Novis (Army and Blackheath), ) and H. M. Bowcott"(Cardiff).

Martindale (Kendal).

There is no cruelty in the perform ance. Whips are rarely used. The whole secret when training a horse for chariat-racing is to half-edueste him. His runaway tendencies should be developed rather than "broken."
