More sensitive than the horses, Dubliners went to some lengths to avoid friction. Pale, plump, plutocratic H. H. the Aga Khan gave his usual trophy for international Army jumping. For years the only time that the strains of "God Save the King" have impinged in public on Free State air has been at the opening of the Dublin Horse Show when the British Army team rides into the ring. Not to abrade further the nerves already rubbed raw by President de Valera's squabble over the land annuities (see col. 2), the British Army team withdrew last week before...
...heavily backed in history. Bettors had wagered $10,000,000 that he would win. Of the 20 other horses that went to the post, twelve were at odds of 50 or 100 to 1 and only five had any substantial backing. They were Lord Rosebery's Miracle, the Aga Khan's Dastur, Cockpen, Hesperus, and April the Fifth, owned by an actor-manager named Tom Walls.

But those in the know were reticent in admitting their knowledge. For detailed information it was better to write directly to Mr. Spahlinger at his Institut Bacterio-therapique in Geneva, Switzerland, or to the proud English folk who attended...
...cured. His talkative, rich friends bruited his "cures," gave him unprofessional fame. A manufacturer of patent medicines offered him, it was said, $1,000.000 for his "formula." That "bribe" Henry Spahlinger disdained, spent his entire fortune of some $500,000 on perfecting his remedy. It was then that the Aga Khan, the Duke of Westminster and others placed their lien, now canceled, on the formula of manufacture. Henry Spahlinger thus had money to live on and to prosecute his research. Heart of the Spahlinger bacteriological technique is his theory that germs must be bred in cultures which duplicate to fine...
