World capital of the sport of figure skating is London, which has six indoor rinks to New York's two, and an amazing number of high-grade figure skaters. The women's figure skating championship of the world was held in London in 1928 and again last week. Winner in 1928 was Sonja Henie, in the second year of her ten-year career as the world's ablest woman skater. Last spring Sonja Henie stopped skating in tournaments to skate in the cinema and last week's winner, heir to Miss Henie's title...
...London's 1928 world skating championship, Cecilia Colledge, 7, with her hair in pigtails, went with her mother who met a friend. The friend was Mrs. Thomas M. Vinson, there to chaperon and applaud her daughter Maribel, who last fortnight won the North American women's figure skating championship.

Saddler, a 4-year-old pointer who should have known...

Brookfield Dumb-Bell, named for the lemon dumbbell-shaped splotch on his side, was a runt. But he was a champion's son and when his turn came he, too, won the top U. S. bird dog championship, the National Field Trials on the Hobart Ames plantation at Grand Junction, Tenn. One autumn when he had grown old and too slow for quail, the little setter's master took him away from his familiar brush and stubble to the thick pines of Minnesota to hunt grouse. Out of his master's sight one grey afternoon...
