The Surrey Union

... By David Livingstone-Learmonth /CONDITIONS were perfect when we went to the meet of the Surrey Union at Chaffolds Farm Gate on the road between Newdigate and Rusper. It was warm and soft, and although rain threatened, it did not come.

MODES OF THE MOMENT

... Modes of the Moment By LORNA CAMERON T70RWARD is the slogan for the new spring hats. Small, flat or slightly hollowed, they are tilted well over the forehead, and, though they look almost too fly away to be practical, are actually securely held by ribbons or nets of veiling. Town models are massed with flowers, swathed with veils or crowned with feathers, but for the country the same lines are ...

... Rallying to Monte Carlo This Year's Bid by British Motorists By Highwayman SOME 250 motorists from fifteen different nations, all smitten with the annual madness of the Monte Carlo Rally, are now careering across Europe, driving a great deal faster than they would if they could choose their gait, being con tent with the sketchiest sort of meals and going for day after day with a minimum of ...

And Here is Peace

... By Ashley Courtenay READERS are always asking for a health resort near London, a place to which they can slip away without much trouble; possibly somewhere good for rheumatism, for heart trouble; somewhere that will gently brace the aged or restore vitality to the young; somewhere where there is peace but where there are means of employing one's leisure. Many of my correspondents will not, I ...

Carthusians In Arthur Dunn Cup Semi-Final

... QLD Carthusians, by defeating Old Wykehamists 2 i in the second round of the Arthur Dunn Cup at Hurlingham, qualified to meet Old Bradfieldians in the semi-final round on February n. The heavy ground made most of the forwards leaden-footed and most of the time the ball swung like a shuttlecock between the two defences, in which the full-backs and A. T. Wreford-Brown, at right-half for the ...

The East Sussex

... By David Livingstone-Learmonth OMINOUS rain began to fall soon after we had started for the East Sussex meet at Scallets Wood, Lunsford Cross, three or four miles from Battle.

Hounds drew ...

... Rallying to Monte Carlo Some of the John-o '-Groats Contingent Fords, English and Continental, outnumbered all other makes, and Amy Johnson, the airwoman, and Mrs. J. McEvoy were among the V-8 entries. They were unlucky enough to skid on an icy corner near Bonner Bridge, but fortunately no serious damage was done. A complete home-from-home is B. W. Fursdon's long-wheelbase 25-h.p. Wolseley. ...

Police of Eight Countries Fighting Next Week

... By B. Bennison IF there is a policeman who cannot use his dooks, I do not know him. Which is as it should be; and yet I remember a day when boxing in the Force was not considered respectable. That, praise be, was a very long time ago. These times, the pugilistic bobby is common to all the countries, and bears favour able comparison with the best amateurs in the world. Fittingly, since they ...

The Ludlow

... By David Livingstone Learmonth WHEN I left the heights of the United the air may have been crisp,; but the sun had been shining all day and it was warm. When I got down into the vale the temperature had fallen so much that even the blazing log-fires of that famous Eliza bethan hostelry, kept by a former secretary of the Ludlow Hunt, could not keep the cold out. At Hereford Bridge the next ...
