Greatest name in Canadian racing, as in Canadian whiskey distilling, is Seagram.

At the coroner's inquest, Sir Bernard, close-lipped as usual, dropped a quiet hint that he now believes the Waterloo-Brentford man, pieced together by his freckles last week, was murdered by a woman. Not a mystery of Spilsbury calibre but England's robustious crime of the week was the preliminary police court hearing at Bournemouth of Mrs. A. V.
