Fragmentary Brisbane turf note reports ongoing January auction at Albion Park. Text references goats, track work, and various horses or ponies with unclear details. Readers see mentions of delays and fog affecting the sale and racing activities across the period.
The report covers weekend cricket results in a final round, noting Linelpit and Souths with modest totals. Parham tops the Afth wicket stand for CC as Tigers struggle to nine wickets. Delany stars for Souths before a collapse to seven for 141, with Brophy opening the over for the Oaks.
A fragmented report blends cricket and war notes with German morale and Paris occupation. It recalls tense matches and recounts wartime life, food shortages, and French resistance under German control, including a German news piece on soldiers' return home and the bleak outlook for conquered regions.
A fragmented piece mentions responses to prompts about opinions and ideas. It also references a lone nose and long-teared pines. Ambiguous phrases suggest a collage of thoughts on nature and electricity.
The piece describes German crowds in Berlin and the emergence of a Landwehr force in France. It notes German civilians in Rheims arriving in uniforms and railway workers in France called to military instruction at Mourmelon and Rheims as part of wartime preparations.
A Manly Court hearing involves a conscientious objector, Mr Sheridan, who refused to answer questions. He stated he would not harm himself, even if threatened with a knife, saying he would endure scars rather than comply.
