After expressing his satisfaction with the generality of the work. he took the opportunity of offering some criticism on some of the weak cases that appeared before him. It was a curious thing that the weak cases showed the same kind of weakness, namely, the im- perfect development of the rhyth- mic sense.

The speaker told the steners that Von Bulow once said "n the beginning was rhythm." That ex- presses t, for it is primeval and all prevading." It may seem an obvious and simple thing always to be talking about but really we

Prospects For To-morrow's Races

By "Last Quarter"

The first half of the year's racing will be brought to a conclusion with the Sixth Extra Race Meeting which is being held to-morrow afternoon at Happy Valley. The programme is made up entirely. of handicap events, nine in all, and this is a fitting tribute to the work of the Official Handicapper, who has been mainly responsible for the many close finishes during the season. Being the last meet- ing before the four months' summer recess, racing enthusiasts will certainly make it a point to be pre- sent to-morrow and with several very open races on the card and the drawing of the special și sweep on the Lantao Handicap as an added attraction, the Jockey Club, enclosure should be taxed' to capacity.

And Abroad!

There seems to be a feeling of general satisfaction at the number of xell-known women whose names figure in the Corona- tion honours list. This sentiment of pleasure has been expressed by all the leading Loudon newspapers, and the following names have been brought forward for special mention.

First of all the name of Marie Tempest is "starred" as it ap- pears that the fact that she is now Dame Marie Tempest has given universal satisfaction to the vast public of theatre-goers whom she has served well and truly for so many years. The order of The Companion of Honour bestowed on Lady Astor is also very popular.
