HORSE WINS WITH

· BROKEN LEG

THE

LIONHEART

A horse with a broken leg won the Pitchcroft Selling Hardie at Worcester last month.

It was a horse named Boomlot, but he is now referred to fin "Boomlet the Lionheart."

The story of his last race la one in the which will be treasured history of the Turf.

Only for a second did he hesitate when his hind leg snapped; then, with head bravely up, ho finished the race on three legs.

Just past the winning post he collapsed, and while Mr. Ivor Anthony (the trainer) and his owner (Mr. Large) stood beside him, the old horse was painlessly destroyed.

"I have known Boomlet for ten met λ years, and I have never pluckier horse," the head boy at the stables said last night.

"He was 13, and I'll guarantee he enjoyed that last race as much as when he was a three-year-old. He was bought for £50. He was a brave-hearted old fellow, and if ever a horse enjoyed his life and had a happy end it was Roomlet,"

GIPSIES' QUEEN

DEAD

SELF-PREDICTION THAT CAME TRUE

The encampment of the gipsy "Queen" of Kent, where Gipsy Lee, the wisest, most revered, and best- of English loved fortune-teller Romany people for years received the homage of her peoplo, was in mourning last month.

The "Queen" died แส slic had foretold she would. A funeral is being planned, surpassing even that of her husband, the gipsy "King," Levi Boswell, whose bier was drawn to Farnborough Church cemetery in 1924 by six black horses, preceded by an outrider in purple and black, and followed by hundreds of gipsies from every part of England.

"Only last week," Mrs. Renolds, who had known Gipsy Lee for 26 years and tended her, in the Inst Illness, said "she was moving about over the Common. Then she fell ill, and on Friday she told us that she had two or three days to live. On Sunday she said she had only a few hours, and early this morn- ing we knew it was true.

"She could neither read

nor

write, yet she often stated that she

had told King George's fortune for him, just as her mother, Gipsy Lee

had of Brighton,

read King Edward's, and prophesied his death," just as it happened.".
