Irishmen hailed the bounding green silks of Tim Hyde with a mighty roar. Merseysiders went wild. An Irish priest shouted encouragement in Gaelic. For Workman was Irish-bred by a Cork pubkeeper, Irish-trained in Kildare by Tim Hyde himself, Irish-owned by Sir Alex, a sometime Meath man from Navan who had put a bet on his jumper for the benefit of Navan's 10,000 citizens. Close behind Workman came 'Captain Briggs's MacMoffat, with Jockey Alder in primrose silks. As they pressed on, Kilstar blundered four jumps from home, and from then...
...ways & means of this extraordinary group are best exemplified by Eddie Bernays, a swart, jittery nephew of Sigmund Freud (a fact of which he is inordinately proud). He began his career as a newshawk, then as pressagent for Enrico Caruso. Now he likes to consider himself a "priest to Big Business" and he ministers only at a high retainer.

Last week brought more rebukes, tacit and otherwise, for the radio priest...

From Mr. Warner's own collection a number of items are being displayed. In addition to a Japanese priest's mask and two gilt bronzes, there is a T'and painting (or print) of the priest Hsuan Tsang, carrying on his back the Holy Books that brought Buddhism to China. It is interesting and perhaps surprising that the Oriental culture display also includes an Italian painting from Fogg, in spite...
