A Short-wave Relay of what Morning Listeners in America are hearing this
Afternoon

including Weather Forecast and Bulletin for Farmers

R. Stoddard
This evening listeners are to hear the story of the visit of a British team of bowlers, consisting of eight men and three women, who went to take part in a grand tournament in Florida. And R. Stoddard, who is to tell the story, was one of the team.
They were seen off at Waterloo Station with confetti, and were met in New York by the father of American bowls, that grand old man Harry Furze, who became their body-guard and personally escorted them 1,000 miles south to Florida, right into St. Petersburg - the sunshine city.
Harry then passed them on to Henry - Henry Moffat, President of the St. Petersburg Bowling Club, one of the biggest bowling clubs in the world, with a membership of 350. On the famous bowling-green of this famous club, the rival teams played in various matches'. But do not imagine the green velvety lawn on which bowls are played at home. The 'green', in fact, consisted of a solid bed of mart, with a thin covering of sand. Although it was the depth of winter, the temperature stood at seventy degrees. There were shaded stands down either side of it, and flowering bougainvilleas and flaming vines, and dark glasses had to be worn to temper the dazzle of the sun.
They had the time of their lives. How sixty English, Scottish, and Canadian bowlers beat sixty American bowlers by forty shots in a mighty third match to such encouragement as 'Well bowled, sir!','That's a dandy, Andy!' R. Stoddard is to tell listeners this evening.

Act II of Johann Strauss 's Opera cDie Fledermaus'

Relayed from
Sadler's Wells Theatre
The Sadler's Wells Gala Night was instituted last season. Regular patrons of the gallery prepare for the occasion several weeks before. A penny collection is made and with the proceeds small gifts, handkerchiefs, fountain-pens, pencils, etc., are bought for every member of the company. During the intervals these gifts are presented together with bouquets, baskets of fruit, chocolates, etc., from patrons in the stalls and circle.
In addition to Strauss's Die Fledermaus, Act II, which is the only item to be broadcast, the programme this evening will consist of the English scene from Lawrance Collingwood 's Macbeth, Act IV of Carmen, and Act II of the Marriage of Figaro.
The scene of Act II of Die Fledermaus is a fancy-dress ball. It is chiefly concerned with a violent flirtation between Rosalinda and her own husband, who has failed to penetrate her disguise. Before that, in front of her very eyes, he has been flirting with her own maid, whom he had also failed to recognise.
One of the big songs in this act is a Czardas, sung by Rosalinda, who is dressed as a Hungarian Countess. It is in the traditional Hungarian style, alternating between the slow Lassan and the brilliant excitement of the Frischka.

This is a variation of the programme 'The Empire at Work'. These reminiscences of the 'nineties, the period of Queen Victoria's Jubilee, make an interesting contrast with the work of the British Empire today. Listeners are to hear about prairie duty in the Yukon with the North-West Mounted Police. Long, tiring patrols, issuing of permits, fighting of prairie fires..... They are to hear about the unenviable job of a jackaroo in Queensland..... And finally, about the first steps that were taken by the authorities in India to control the lawless tribes inhabiting the wild hills on the North-West Frontier. The Gumal Pass-caravan route for Afghan traders-was opened without bloodshed, some of the erstwhile robbers acting as police at certain of the posts.
