LONSDALE CRITICISES
EPSON RACECOURSE
Poor battle-ground for Derby,
Says British Sportsman.

Lord Lonsdaie speaking at a dinner
at tho Eccentric Club of London on
Wednesday. June IL. strongly criticised
the EPSON racecoursc. In making some
observations upon the Derby he said !:
The most disgraceful course | nave
ever seen in my life is EPSON. II is GER
tain that unless something can be done
to improve 1t the stewards of The Jockey
Club and the Jockey Club will not hesi-
tate. in the interests of the owners of
our finest thoroughbreds, to withdraw
the license for running the Derby at lip
som.
THE Derby course should be the most
splendid course In the world. This race
is the blue ribbon OF the turf. The
whole of our thoroughbred stock is more
dependent upon the winner Of the Derby
than upon any other single race, and
that horses should have to run the risks
they do with the course as II Is at pres
ent is absolutely and entirely wrong.
The number of people who attend the
Derby Is enormous, and ! cannot sec
why-I speak as one who has travelled
all over the world--steps should not be
taken to profit by this TO some extent.
Why not have company take It
overY II that were done / am certain
that sportsmen would soon find the funds
that would enable the EPSON course TO
be made the pride OF England and the
best In the world.
EPSON has enormous advantages,
but. as I.have said. 1t has at present
many disadvantages and some peculiar
qualities, which Justifies me in maling
the statement that however apparently
the race may be at the mercy of horse
there Is no certain Derby winner until
the race has actually been won"

cross run gets going at once. with one
diamond out of the way to start with.
The original lead of trump accom-
plishes nothing. because when A leads
the diamond, II z returns 1t. he may lose
bis ace OF hearts, A getting discard on
the third round of diamonds, II z does
not cover. This would give A Ave by

The hand is good example Of the

Only 1000 viii Be Accommo-

The committee in charge of the ma
the West Side Tennis Club on August %
has decided to limit the grandstand to
1000 seats In speaking OF the de-
cision Harry Parker yesterday declared
that it showed the importance of making
early reservations for the season tickets.
While the 1000 seats will be double
the capacity provided for the tourna-
ments during the war, II is less than
was used for the Davis Gun matches of
1914. The announcement that the famous
Australian, Norman l.. Brookes, whose
playing in the 1914 series has become
one of the traditions of tennis, will be
in the championship has stimulated much
interest. This is increased by the word
from California that Maurice Il. Nc
Loughlin Is getting ready for another
try at the title. and the further fact
that Gerald l.. Patterson, who beat
Brookes at Wimbledon last month, will
also be a contender.
Bernon S. Prentice, chairman of the
tournament committee at the Seabright
Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, an
nounced yesterday that particular effort

n, EUGENE n. o,ooNNnLL.

In spite OF the fact that @. l.. Patter-
son, the young winner OF the British
championship, IL admitted by followers
of tennis to be the bright star of the
Australian team which win land in this
country before the end of this week. the
greatest interest is centred In the vet
eran, Norman r. Brookes. Brookes
gained the admiration OF tennis lovers
when he was here in 1914. He lacked
the magnetism of his partner at that
time, the late Anthony +. swiiding. but
he played a brand of tennis that will
long be remembered In this country.
Furthermore, Brookes was more or
less OF a marvel to Americans at that
time, for he had been playing tennis
for a couple Of decades. and only that
year regained the British title which he
had won in 1907 and lost in 1908. Those
who saw him play were convinced that
he was then one of the greatest players
that ever stepped on court, and be-
cause Of his free strokes and easy style
many believed that he never would
wear out.
Whether he could have kept on going
or not Is a matter OF conjecture. but the
war butted In on his tennis affairs and
Broolxes was too much taken up with
other affairs to pay any attention to
tennis. However. there are some who
beffeve that the veteran Will De able 10

II is more than likely that the visiting
Australian players will be seen in action
first at tho Casino in Newport, where
the annual invitation tournament will
start on Monday, August 4. The week
after that the Antipodeans will confine
their efforts to an attempt to capture
the American doubles championships at
Boston. In this tourney II Is probable
that Brookes viii team up with Pstter-
son. while Lycett and Thomas will play
together.
The Australians will not be seen in the
Metropolitan district until August is,
when they will play in the invitation
singles at the Meadow Club in South
ampton. L. L. to get final edge on their
play for the championship singles the

pected that the Australians will make
frequent stopovers on their way back

Tentative suggestions for the es-
Enlistment of a community market
in Grand Forks in connection with
garden projects will be preached by
Mrs. Agnes Rex. city overseer of the
poor at the meeting Of the directors of
the Grand Forks Commercial club
next Monday.
The whole question Of gardens for
people of the city who have no
ground of their own for that purpose
will be taken up at that time, and 1t
is probable that plans for the garden
themsel- similar to those in effect
last year will be perfected.
In regard to the market. Mrs. Rex
points out that it would be of great
benefit to those who raise a surplus
of vegetables. as we'll as to the mar
ket gardeners Of the surrounding
country. by making it more feasible
for them to secure an income from
their products.
1t is possible that arrangements
may be made to cooperate with the
Grand Forks Curling club for the es-
tablishment Of a permanent building
which could he used for q market in
summer. and a curling rink during
the winter months.
Plans along this line are now being
worked out by Mrs. Rex in collabora-
ton with some of the members Of the
club.
