Where Davis is marvellous is in his retention of absolute accuracy in potting no matter what screw. side, or top he may want on the cue-ball.

Davis surpassed himself by scoring a magnificent break of 99, n record for the championship. Starting with all the reds on the table and paying assiduous atten- tion to the black ball, he gave a dazzling display of positional pat- ting until, at 99, he was beaten in a most unlucky way.

Secret Racecourse Found and Raided.

A secret racecourse, set in

a deep valley hidden by bush and tall gum trees, has been discovered and raided by the poliec. It was on an estate near Falrileld, Queensland.

The police had belloved for months that secret race meet- ings were being held, and that betting had been going on. But those holding the meet- Ings always had scouts posted on the approaches to the track to inform them when the palice were coming.

Finally, two bands of police in motor-cars and dressed in old clothes, approached the track from different direc

tions.

They found 11 miniaturo racecourse with a seven-fur- long grass track, book-makers busily offering odds to a crowd of over 200 men and women, and blood-houses run- ning for prizes...Both trotting and galloping races were being held.

The crowd scattered willy when the police appeared. Police chased fugitives for nearly half a mile through bush country, and three alleg ed bookmakers were arrested. A dozen horses and their own- ers were taken to Fairfield Police-station, and later nl- lowed to go.
