Until last year Sir Gordon had
never won the historic English
Derby at EPSON Downs. and it
was ironical that he did it by
beating the queens colt with
Sir Victor Sassoon's PIMA. The
queens Aureole was second.
I'm delighted I've made the
Derby at last, but what a pity
had to beat the queen" Sir
Gordon said afterward.

Richards, who was out of ac-
ton earlier this year with an
other injury, said he is recovering
nicely and that he expected to
be walking normally within two
or three weeks.
Sir Gordon, who scored his last
victory June 10 with Queen Eliza
beth's Landau, has been the lead
ing British rider 26 times. His
horses won more than $500 900.
It was stroke of luck. that
sent Richards into racing. His

become a clerk In a warehouse at
Oakengates. near Shrewsbury.
There he made friends with
two girls both of them racing

CLAUDE D. DAVIS
PASSES STATE BAR

Claude D. Davis, former Hyde
County sheriff now living in
Asheville, has passed the state
bar examination after studying
nights at the Love School of
Law in Asheville for the past
four years.
Mr.. Davis, native of Middle
town, is presently employed as a
special agent with the State
Bureau of Investigation in Ashe-
vile. He is the son of Mrs. Mat
tie Mann Davis and the late
Thomas D. Davis of Middletown.
He is married to the former Mary
Roper of Engelhard; they have
one daughter, Elaine, two years
old.
Friends this week told this I'M
usual success story, made pos
sible by desire to become an at
torney and a persistent effort to
attain the goal:
After a short stint with the
SBI in Raleigh, Mr.. Davis was
sent to Asheville in 1850 as
special agent covering several
western counties. While there, he
conducted widely-publicized
probe into election irregularities
in Madison County.
1t was about this same time
that he learned of the Love Law
School and saw the opportunity
to fulfill a dream of becoming a
lawyer, either to practice in the
courts or to help in his investi-
gative work. So he enrolled,
first as a student to meet pre-
legal requirements and later as
a student of law.
For the following four years he
attended night school. Then,
early this month, he went over
to Raleigh and passed the state
bar examination-to the surprise
of some of his closest friends,
who were not even aware that
he had been studying law.
AS for the future, Mr.. Davis
says that if he enters law prac-
tice it will be in Asheville.
Otherwise, he will use the know
ledge in his investigative work
with the State Bureau of Invest
igation.
A graduate of the Engelhard
High School and a veteran of
Navy service, Mr.. Davis is now
"a years old. He was engaged in
business at Engelhard for a time
before becoming sheriff. While
in the sheriff's office, he attended
the FBI Academy in Washing
ton, D. c.

To the Editor.

To the Editor.
In the August 9Th issue of
your paper you published let
ter from me in your Letters to
the Editor column. l appreciate
this very much however l had
no idea that you would publish
it. The ball park project interests
me very much and the work that
each of the men taking part was
given unselfishly. l am also glad
to read of the success of the Man
teo team.
I am member of the 339th
Student Sqdn. baseball team and
\ consider myself very lucky.
The team has won-Iost record
of Is and 4. I play shortstop and
I am the lead off batter. / only
wish that l could be at Manteo
this year to wear their colors in
basket ball. Last year l had the
honor of being a starting mem
Der of the Sunbury High School
team which was undefeated in
"a games and ended the season
with 56.4 points per game aver
age.
l read in the Times" that
many sailfish and marlin are
being landed off the Dare coast.
Being a person of rather COM
petive nature l took the weights
of the fish caught in Dare county
and made a trip to Gulfport,
Miss. to compare to the fish
caught off the Gulf coast. To my
surprise, the fish of Dare were
larger and heavier. Now don't
think that l would under-esti-
mate dear old Dare County and
her sporting assets but after
hearing so much of the Gulf
Coast, l expected to find the fish
much heavier and larger.
l will not get home to enjoy
the summer fishing of Dare, but
will be home in November or
December.
I find the articles written by
Aycock Brown and A. w. Drink
water the most interesting I have
ever read. Thanks again for your
kindness.
Incidentally the paper goes all
through the squadron and the
fellows find it very interesting
In my opinion your paper is a
morale builder for them all be-
cause some of the boys from the
New England States all gather
to read, and to compare it with
their coastland.
They all join me in saying
thanks, and We enjoy the pic
lures.
