A commentary by Harold Abrahams on the start of the twenty-seventh annual Polytechnic Harriers Race, from Windsor Great Park
Though this famous annual distance race was first run in 1909, it has so far eluded a British runner. The spell may be broken by S. S. Yarrow , probably the second best Marathon runner in Europe, who was runner-up in the race two years ago. For details of the course see Guy Fletcher 's Miscellany on page 5.

and his Orchestra
Charles Brill , whose orchestra has lately become so popular over the air, is of Hungarian extraction. He studied the violin at Budapest and conducted at Basle under Weingartner. For a while Brill conducted light opera at Basle, and on his return to England he toured as conductor with the Royal Carl Rosa Opera Company. In 1934-5 he went to Russia and conducted a number of radio concerts.
His orchestra, which he formed some two years ago, specialises in light music of the classical Romantic composers, especially French opéra bouffe, Viennese operetta, and comic opera of the nineteenth century.
