T^HEY had swooped down on Welling-, .'ton, .with .heavily-laden pockets' and only one idea — to stick it on Head Serang and keep sticking it on.

Soon as the -tote opened for betting they went ' m, and the presence of IMsorder m the field made for. them .'a price. Head -Serang won. 7aj»d th^re were smiles. '-„-' '

The second day it was money from home, they . whispered, and m they went again— head down^this tlime.

Head Serang. lost, and the smile had /vanished, but, there being another day, they' were .not down-

hearted.' . _.v-':v. - '••: -' . Came the third day,' and agaim the purse' was touched,' arid; tlie money poured . ih,v but .still ' there Twias a good price on' offer.- --" /■■'■•- f )_\a.
