Disturbing to Manchester is a bond-holder's suit, still pending, which argues that a court in Massachusetts has no jurisdiction over a New Hampshire firm. If this contention should be upheld in the autumn, Manchester citizens fear that more months of legal bickering would delay the start of new enterprises in the Amoskeag mills. Ever since the mills closed a Manchester Citizens' Committee has been trying to find purchasers or lessors for all or part of the Amoskeag plant...
...speculators whose credit is good. One customer's funds may not be used to support another customer's accounts.

Every day they travel 100,000 miles, lift and lower 15,000,000 passengers-twice the number carried by all other New York transport systems combined.

Bundled out to face Budge himself after a 10 min. delay, he played listlessly, was trounced 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. But it was too late to matter, and U. S. excitement about the Davis Cup was over until...
Mahmoud is a son of Blenheim. Smirke is the jockey who, on Windsor Lad in 1934, equaled the record-2 min. 34 sec.- for the ½;-mile Derby course. Last week, after a delay at the post which alarmed radio announcers scheduled to follow the account of the race at 3 p. m. with the departure of the Queen Mary (see p. 17) at 3:15, the field got away smoothly. On a track baked rocky hard, following the Aga Khan's instructions, Jockey Smirke rode a waiting race. First Carioca, then Mrs. James Shand's Thankerton took...
