Paid to Leave

Nice fellows, the Arty. We went to a dance of their’s at Victoria Hall a while ago. Doing pretty good with the sheilas when one of them—nice sort of chap comes along and says, “Are you fellows Artillery ?” Of course he dosen’t have to ask because we had our red colours up, but, as I say, they’re a nice lot. Then he asked us if we would mind accompanying him. Seeing he was such a pleasant sort of bloke, of course we went with him, and he takes us to a fellow at the front door and says, “Look, you chaps, there’s been some mistake here, this is an Arty, affaira private show—l hope you don’t mind, but Bill here will have to refund your money. You understand, don’t you?” Well, when he put it that way, what could we do but take the money and go ? They were such nice chaps we really couldn’t tell them we’d got in a back window because we were broke —now could we ? * * * * Dark Felt, this year's Melbourne Cup winner, was a trier at Flemington when he ran into a close fourth in the same classic last year. He also took the Moonee Valley Cup last spring.

WELL WHAT CAN I GIVE YOU?”
