A LUCKY DREAM

Auckland, November 15.

Some people have backed horses at races as the result of dreams and won. More have done the same and lost. As long as there are races and betting many more will continue to do either the one or the other. To past followers of the practice and to those of the future, .the following letter from a correspondent will prove of particular interest

“I very seldom go to races, but last Monday morning about daylight I dreamt that a dog came limping up to me on three legs, and holding up his paw, he looked at me appealingly. I examined his foot., as there was blood and dirt on it. I washed it and found a large thorn deeply embedded in the pad. With a pair of tweezers I managed to extract it, and the dog showed his gratitude by wagging his tail and licking my hand. I woke up and was puzzling over such a strange and realistic dream, when I remembered that a horse called The Thorn had come home third in the Guineas 'on the previous Saturday. I thought that if there was anything in dreams this surely ought to be a good tip. Consequently, I attended the races and took four tickets on The Thorn, who duly won.”
