England team to tour United States August to September
A message from England notes a band of gentlemen cricketers will tour the United States from August 21 to September 23 led by E. J. Metcalfe, a former island world captain. Metcalfe, once resident at Toowoomba, was a steadfast performer for the Toowoomba Choir and, with R. Sinclair, often played for the Toowoomba X1. Meanwhile, local rugby-like matchups feature Kennedys versus Natives, with Strover injured and others sick, likely widening Kennedys’ lead.

Jockey Fees Rise Debated Amid Cost of Living Pressure
Sir George Chifford said jockeys seek a 50 percent increase on all tos ting fees and a flag rate on wins or place money as the Lees committee considers the proposals. The move follows calls for fair pay during rising living costs and a note that jockeys were not deemed underpaid before the strike. The Auckland Racing Club reported a record year with substantial depreciation provisions and wage expenses, while horses like Humbug and Finmark ranked among top earners in New Zealand racing history. The first meeting of the elected executive committee was held with strong attendance. Mr H E Bulcock thanked for services at the club rooms.
