I have spoken! JE Starter Tom Cairieron is, in tfl writer's opinion, one of the emartesß "slippers" in the Dominion, but he errr on the side of generosity towards the unexperienced class of jockeys floating about in these unsophisticated parts. No doubt the "horsemen" thought they were combining the intelligence of Solomon and the cunning of Moriarty, but it was only the good humor—or rather the indulgence—of Mr. Cameron which stood between them and substantial fines, if not a solid dose of the "rest cure." I can see trouble looming ahead for some of these "pointers" at Stratford. While on the topic of horsemanship (alleged and otherwise) it may be mentioned that Owen McCarten, with four firsts, took oil the riding honors at the meeting. "Bill" Price was successful thrice, and J. F.va and C. Monk notched a brace apiece. Others to salute Mr. J, H. Perrett were A. Ward, K. Lambess, J. McLean, L. Nodder and 3. Stevenson. Stakes were distributed amongst twenty-five owners as follows: Messrs A. Alexander £3BO, Emeny and Lampitt £245, R. Barlow '£los, "W. Raleigh" £l7O, S. Brick £155, M. Toon £IOO, T. F. Goddard £IOO, R. Hicks £IOO, J. M. Hurley £OS, D. J. Goodwin £95, G. Brown £95, P. Bolton £9O, H. W. Johnston. £BS, M. Aagard £ls, Hone Pihama £ls, "A. Ravnes" £ls, B. T. Bennett £ls, D.

It is wonderful where all the coin conies from to "boost" up these totalisator turnovers'. It in hard enough to get money these days, but racing folk seem to be supplied with terribly deep pockets. The cash just seems to flow in. The totalisator doesn't ask for it, and nobody forces you to bet. Anyway, it isn't a penal offence to stop away from races. If the totalisator was ever inclined to advertise, or to boom "biz" in some way or another there is no telling what might happen. Just bv way of a contrast consider the Amnrkan parson who had to instal a unique style of collection box in his church to make the "tiglit-wads" unbutton. When ; 25 cent, or larger coin was dropped in dead silence reigned, AlO cent piece , drew forth from the box a lOsec. phonograph record entitled, "What Will You Do With Your Money When You Die?" • A 5 cent coin was greeted with a loud • blast like a John Hop's whistle, and ' phonograph cries of "Help!" Perlice!" A ■ one cent was greeted with a brace- of 1 gunshot reports, and a pocket addition of t Katzenjammer Castle, and those who ' didn't wake up to deposit their "voluntary" offering were aroused by a fog- • horn, several clangs of a fire engine bell ■ and two sky rockets (not sky pilots). A ' kodak then snapped them and their t "portergaffs" were added to the gallery ' of "utterly utters" in the porch! But 1 the totalisator hasn't risen to that pitch r yet. On Saturday, the holocaust of racing will burst forth and rage all over the B Dominion. Ellerslie, Stratford, Marton, Hastings, and numerous other places will see the gay and gaudy colors unfurled, ' and will hear the seductive tinkle of the totalisator bell. Stratford will be the rendezvous of most Taranaki "sports," and two excellent day's racing are promised. Re-handicaps (If any) are not available at time of writing, so it is practically impossible to form any idea of the respective merit* r> f *h<> various 3 Worses engaged, Suffice to say that horses like Welcome Nugget, Play-Off, |Tre« Lucerne, Royal Chef, Collector, a Cordon, Bivouac, and Veto are likely to run prominently at the meeting—that is if the handicapper does not give theui too much attention

This well known stage success and great emotional drama, featuring Mis 3 Henrietta Grossman, will be screened for the first time at the Theatre Royal on Monday next. Briefly the story is built along the following lines:— Marian I.orimcr palls upon her coarsenatural husband, and he turns to the waiting arms of Madge Creighton. A baby girl comes to the Lo rimers, and for a time • unites husband and wife more closely, but toon Loriraer becomes again more entangled with the other woman. Jealous and angry, Marian listens to the false counsel of the husband's trusted friend, and consents to elope, telling Lorimer in a note that she has gone. At the gate Marian turns back, but Lorimer has .already read the message of farewell, and refuses to admit her. On the strength of the fatal note, Lorimer obtains a divorce, with the custody of the child, and marries the other woman. Marian goes West, taking the name of "Mrs. Hatch." Years pass, and one day she reads in the paper that her child is about to be married. The longing mother returns and begs her former husband for one glimpse of her daughter. She is denied, but helped by the old nurse, Agnes, Marian sees her child again. As a modiste, bearing the wedding gown of her daughter, Marian creeps into her old home, and sees her loved one without the tatter's knowledge of their relationship. Her former husband and his wife discover her presence and learn her identity, and they threaten Marian, who steals away. How the other woman is justly punished, the cruel husband humbled, and mother and child at last united, is dramatically unfolded in this powerful photoplay. The prices of admission will remain as usual.
