      b- A Great Triumph :  M. Veil-Picard had the first and second in the grand Steeplechase de Paris with Fleuret and Un Mitrailleur, a feat which we do not remember an owner accomplishing in the history of the Paris 'chase.  Our representation, Thomond II, ran badly after sustaining a cut on a foreleg.
      c- Fighting at Folkestone :  G. D. It, who finished fourth with J. Marshall up, Diocles (R.A. Jones), who was second, Gordon Richards, who was third on Accra, and E. Smith on Rhum, the winner, approaching the post in the Westhanger Selling PLate at Folkestone.
      d- The Newbury Summer Cup :  Gordon Richardss on Mr. W. Woodward's The Black Devil, by Sir galahad III-La Palina easily winning the Newbury Summer Cup by six lengths from John James and knight of Monaster, who were separated by only a head.
      e- Racing at Sandown :  The field in the Sandringham Foal Plate after just entering the straight.  At this point Gordon Richards, on Mr. J. H. Whitney's Night Owl, is in the lead; but a quarter of a mile from home he gave way to Sir Malcolm McAlpine's Solar Ray, a son of Solario and Trincomalee, who scored by three-quarters of a length in the hands of J. Sirett.
      f- Determination :  A study in expressions towards the finish of the Alington Selling Plate at Sandown Park.  On the extreme right is F. Fox on Nekora, who was third;  then come Gordon Richards, who was second on Merry Conceit, T. Hawcroft on the Farindos colt, and the winner, Smike, ridden by h. Wragg.
      g- A Promising Two-Year-Old :  Major Dermot McCalmont's Grimage, by Tetratema-Maquillage (on left), with H.

3. The Second Test at Lord's  :  Cameron's Magnificent innings for South Africa- Some good English Fielding. (Two Cricket pages showing the Following Photographs.)
      a- H. B. Cameron b. Nichols, 90 :  Cameron's magnificent innings saved South Africa from complete eclipse on the first day.  He was out immediately after the tea interval, the ball, as may be imagined from the picture both keeping low and coming back up the hill.
      b- Siedle Bowled :  By a "googly" which,  having probably failed to detect, he tried to force on the on-side. It reached the stumps via bat and pad.
      c- The African Openers :  B. Mitchell and I. J. Siedle.  Siedle could not repeat its success at Nottingham, but Mitchell, whose eye reveals the mark of his recent injury.  batted beautifully and looked set for a hundred.
      d- The King at Lord's :  Both teams were presented to the King during the afternoon of the first day of the Test.  The figures in the foreground are R. E. S. Wyatt, the England Captain, H.M. the King, Hammond,  Ames,  E. R. T. Holmes, Leyland and Sutcliffe.
      e- Fine Fielding :  An agreeable contrast from the seen in recent Test Matches was the best feature of the English out-cricket.  Hammond, who is perhaps the best all-round fielder in England, is here seen stopping a hard cut by E. A. B. Rowan off Nichols's bowling.
      f- Verity  v.  Wade :  The stubbornness of H. F. Wade's batting led to the setting of a bold attacking field to Verity's bowling.  The fielders from left to right are R. E. S. Wyatt, Verity, Hammond, Nichol's and Farrimond.
4. "Kashmir Win The Champion Cup. : The Optimists Go Down Fighting by Eight Goals to Six." (Polo.)  (Showing the following Two Photographs.)
      a- Major Phipps hornby Gets Away :  The Optimists' No. 1 gets away with the ball, while the Maharajah of Kashmir, who has proved a very sound back for his side, waits an opportunity to deal with him.  Although beaten, the Optimists put up a splendid fight, and Major phipps Hornby and Mr. M. G. Phipps formed an excellent attacking combination.
      b- A Throw In :  An incident during the CHampion Cup final between Kashmir and the optimists, a very fast game in which all the players were at the top of their form.  The teams were evenly matched and the issue was in doubt until the last chukker.

      a- G. W. Parker :  Captain of Cambridge. "Though he has had a lean time, he has the memory of an admirable 97 against Oxford last year to lend him confidence.  Cambridge, one feels, might be out for 100, but they might well make 350"
      b- Oxford's Captain :  D. F. Walker.  Previously an opening batsman,  Walker this year has descended to No. 5; a sound and most attractive player.  "Oxonians will make their way to Lord's with a jaunty step, comfortable in the knowledge of what, at its best, is an excellent University beating side."

      a- Carnera'sConqueror :  Joe Louis. "the black who hasbrought about the total eclipse of Carnera, to force exceptence of his claim that he is the greatest coloured fighter since Jack Johnson.  Whether Louis will be tolerated as a world's championship proposition remains to be seen."

      c- The Late R.A.H. Mitchell  (1843 - 1905) :  Oxford, Leicestershire and England. One of the first of Cricket coaches and perhaps the most famous.  Mitchell has been described as the founder of modern Eton Cricket, the destinies of which he controlled for thirty years.
      d- A ground which is picturesqueness is exceeded only bu Upper Club.  Agar's Plough was levelled and became used for cricket in the 'nineties.
      e- The Late C. T. Studd (1860  -  1931) :  Cambridge, Middlesex and England.  Missionary work cut short his cricket career, but for a few years he was surpassed as an amateur all-rounder only by W.G.  and A.G. Steel.  He played against Australia bothin England and on tour.
      f- The Late C. J. Thornton  (1850 - 1929):  Cambridge, Kent and Middlesex.  The greatest hitter of his day.

      b- Well Home :- All Blackwater fish.  Gaffing a fish is equally excitingboth to angler and ghillie.  Afirm upward thrust and not a snatch is required. Always mind the line.
      c- Watching it Round :  Spinning for Salmon is a difficult art.  The bait must be made to swim the waterin a natural manner, hence the concentration shown in this photograph by Major Longfield of Major-General Sir Guy Beatty on the UpperBlackwater.
      d- Greased line :  Below Mallow on the Blackwater. A cast under the far bushes and a wend ot two upstream. The great art with with this method of fishing is not to strike, but to allow the weight of the line to hook the fish.
      e- The Ideal Stretch :  Fast flows the stream-and fast the trout must feed.  He's over there behind a rock.  Round swings the fly and up he comes.  Small, perhaps, but weight of water and light tackle gives plenty of fun.
