New Demand for Big Estates

... By Esquire A. R.P. is responsible for the mount ing demand for large country houses by banks, insurance companies and industrial concerns, and owners of big palaces 50-60-70 miles from London are lucky. Yesterday they possessed properties hard to sell; to day they awake to a mild clamour for their long empty houses from chiefs of big businesses who wish to provide precautionary out-of-town ...

The Shooting Man's Friend

... By A. Croxton Smith TO the best of my recollection I have never read the reason why old sportsmen of about a century ago, or rather less, swung over to the conclusion that it might be better to have a specialist breed to pick up the game after it had been shot or trace runners. In 1847 General Hutchinson m his Dog Breaking had rather emphatic views upon the subject, remarking that one of his ...

The Question of Stance

... HOW far should I stand from the ball? is a question I am often asked. I always feel inclined to crack the old chestnut, and say: Before or after you have hit it? But I am afraid there is no definite answer to be given-- no rule of thumb; no way of measuring where the ball should be. I have noticed players measuring the distance of the ball from their left knee by putting the club-head ...

The Addington Foursomes

... GENERAL CRITCHLEY (Addington) and D. J. Rees, the Hindhead professional, proved the best partnership at Addington last week, and won the scratch foursomes handsomely. They met the Hon. Max Aitken (Walton Heath) and Henry Cotton in the final, and the match ended at the 16th. WORTHY WINNERS General Crilchley and Dai Rees thoroughly enjoyed themselves at Addington despite the weather, and were ...

GO GREYHOUND RACING AT WHITE CITY

... jnXERCISE is the basis of a greyhound's training. But to the champions shown here at the G.R.A. kennels in the midst of rich, green parkland at The Hook, Northaw, Herts, exercise is real fun and pleasure. Long carefree hours of happy companionship in the summer sunshine give the champion greyhound his sleek coat, his grace in action, his stamina and his bursts of speed. ...

The Four Feathers

... A. E. W. Mason's Famous Story Makes Thrilling Camera Material The background is partly authentic, partly faked. From the Sudan, 102 packing-cases of local colour were sent to Denham, where a replica of a Nile water-wheel was erected on the banks of the Colne. Studio experts had to concoct mud of the peculiar red colour of Nile mud, since the film is Technicolor. On the other hand, Zoltan ...

My Impressions of John Henry Armstrong

... By B. Bennison JOHN HENRY ARMSTRONG is now in London to defend the world's welter title against Ernie Roderick, the British cham pion, and the fight will be at Harringay before May is out, probably on the 23rd of that month. It is something of an achievement to have the redoubtable negro on the premises, so to say, for world beaters are notoriously travel-shy. The cabled news was that ...

HATS THE HEADLINES: MODES OF THE MOMENT

... Mats iKj i the Headlines Modes OF THE Moment By LORNA CAMERON Ty LOWERS and veils and feathers, all on the same hat It sounds like a page from the family album, but here they are again, tilted straws massed so closely with trimming that their original shapes are almost invisible.

Why Carry a Spare Tyre?

... By Highwayman SOMEWHERE about the beginning of the century, when motoring was just begin ning to find its feet, so to speak, some genius invented the detachable wheel, which promptly led to the idea of the spare wheel, or as it was first known, the Stepney. That was hailed as an immense step forward, and so it was in those days, when tyres were good for about 5,000 miles at the best, and the ...
