CAMBRIDGE AND UNEMPLOYED

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT BY UNDERGRADUATES

!:

London, Aug. 21.

A GROUP of Cambridge under- graduates have voluntarily devoted six weeks of their vaca- tion to organising and staffing a camp for a hundred young unem- ployed men.

The site for the camp, and other facilities, were provided by Lord Somers and the youths have been engaged on occupations of a kind calculated not to deprive any man of em ployment.

Goodwood's "Match,"

There is always, something ro- mantic about a private match be- tween horses. One of these we had yesterday at Goodwood, when Lady Durham's Ally Montes beat the Duke of Norfolk's Any Quick- silver in a race for £200 'a idé.

Before racing was organised and controlled, sporting noblemen would wager heavily on one of their horses beating that of a rival, and it is really due to these matches that racing has become a great national sport

The last "big money match 1 remember was at Newbury seven years ago on a pouring wet day, when Sir Hugo Cunliffe-Owen's Highborn II. defeated the late Mr. 8. B. Joel's Oojah in a match for "£2,000 a side. Highborn..II won with the greatest of ease

Friendly Banter

After a long period these private. races are returning. Already this season we have had three, the other two being at Newbury and Hurst Park.

Such contests are generally the outcome of friendly argument be-. tween owners, and that is how yesterday's race came about.

Lady Durham remarked to the Duke of Norfolk at a party that his horses were "a pretty poor lot." The Duke admitted the truth or the criticism, but went on to ven- ture the opinion that Lady Dur ham's were no better.

Hence the match. And Lady Durham now has the last word-
