Snails for Sport

Mr. Kelly, after three days of meandering around the Colony with a bevy of Austra- lian beautics, has had his sport- ing instincts aroused.

His sporting instincts in one direction defeated by the vigi- lance of four chaperones, Mr. Kelly has decided to take up racing as a career.

Owing to the high cost of ponics, he has decided to take up a racing career commen- surate with the state of his

"Now, Mra, Sallow, I don't like to be cross with you, but you're not keeping up with the rest of the clues."

In a handicap event, Slobber, a very poor performer, who had been brought down from vice- laden Shanghai, was the medium of some heavy betting, and romped home in front of a classy field.

The stewards found at the inquiry that Slobber's shell had been shaved down, and the owner, trainer and nail were disqualified for life.

He was never any good after this supreme effort.

The most famous of all snails was Greasy, who humped his shell, and half an ounce of chewing gum, over a fifty-yard course and finished in the re- markable timo of 2 days 21 hours dead.

A badly trained snail will always play up at the barrier and, keeping this in mind, it would be well for owners to have their snails trained from the time they are slugs.
