500 SKEINS OF SILK
MONOGRAMS FOR JOCKEYS London, July 13. Before leaving England for India, Mrs. Walter Sibbritt, wife of the Australian jockey, has been commissioned to buy 500 skeins of orange silk to be used for embroidering monograms on the racing jackets of the jockeys riding for the Maharajah of Kohalpur. The maharajah sent over a few threads of the colour he wants, and Mrs. Srbbritt is matching them at London. Her husband is to ride for Ihe maharajah. He is taking back with him, at the request of the maharajah, brood mares, hacks and hunters, also pedigree dogs of various kinds. "I am determined to try to start a fund for the British Red Cross while I am out there," Mrs. Sibbritt said this week. Mrs. Sibbritt is the daughter of the famous jockey, Frank Bullock.
