BLACK SPORTMEN
ABORIGINES’ RACE MEETING Aboriginal residents of Woorabindi, Australia, staged their own race meeting recently. They had their own committee and other officials, one of them laid the odds, and the dusky jockeys, io wore purple, blue and red sashes, were all triers. The bookmaker called every thing that ran, and on one race he got a “skinner.” Horses were lent by station owners and settlers, who came from far and near to see the sport.
