Dear M.A.T.,—Apropos your v sparkling, sporting par about quaint tips,, here is one that happened to me. -On the Sunday evenj llt r before Ohristchurch ISMENE. De°rby Day I went to church, and the parsons text was "Menc, mene, tekel upharsin," which is, as vou know. "You are weighed in the balance "and found wanting." My pal and l had arranged to "spot" a tip for Derby in the sermon. Imagine the horror of the surrounding congregation when, with one not-too-quiet voice, wo both burst forth with, "fomene," and the following day Ismcnc won the Derby. Did we back him?
