' Famous Races and Race Courses '
A talk by ' Capt. Eric Rickman and Freddie Fox
It is good news for racing enthusiasts that Captain Eric Rickman (' Robin Goodfellow ' of the Daily Mail) is to bring to the microphone one of the best-known jockeys of modern times in the person of Freddie Fox , who was Champion Jockey in 1930-the year he won the 2,000 Guineas on Diolite. The following year he won the Derby on Cameronian, arid won it for a second time on Bahram in 1935. Fox started to ride in 1907, his first important winner being Yentoi, owned by Lady de Bathe (Lily Langtry , who raced under the name of ' Mr. Jersey '), on, which he won the Cesarewitch. Among other big races he won the 1,000 Guineas in 1911 on Atmah, the St. Leger in 1932 on Firdaussi, and the 2,000 Guineas on Bahram in 1935. He would have also won the St. Leger on the Aga Khan's unbeaten three-year-old that year, and so have completed the Triple Crown, but for an accident the day before the race.
Fox retired at the end of last season and is now assisting Captain Gooch, the well-known trainer, in Berkshire. He is known as the Mayor of Wantage', having lived there so long.

A reading by H. S. Ede from the translation of Edward Marsh
On June 28 H. S. Ede read a selection from the Fables of La Fontaine in the translation by Sir Edward Marsh , which is well known for the clever and exceedingly amusing way in which the fables have been freely adapted for everyday speech. Tonight he is to read a further selection, the fables being : — ' Cat into Lady ', ' The Drunkard and his Wife', 'The Gardener and the Squire ', ' The Lion and the Gnat', ' The Old Man and the Three Youths ', ' The Oak and the Reed '. He will give yet another reading on July 17.
