SEVEN TO THREE ON

(By Punter.)

A TIP FOR TRENTHAM.

I've got my little bit on for Monday's meeting. But I have been watching the form of one particular cert, and am convinced that it is dead easy money. Would you put seven to three on with a horse which was backed to win with £50,000,000 of wise men's money—a starter which couldn't possibly fail no matter what the weather, the odds, or the jockey? Of course you would. ,' ' .".'.. A STONE GINGER. Before passing on the name of .this winner, will you dub me a wowser if I state that you and I arc spinning up rather too much money on1 our fickle friends, the toto and the books? I'm the last chap in the. world to preach sermons a guiust the Sport of Kings (I'll be at Trentham with bells on), but it seems to me rather a mug's game to back a ten to one shot in the last race because it's your last ten bob, when you can get seven to three on on an absolute stone ginger, which all the circumstances of turfdoih cannot prevent from winning. THE DINKTM'OIL. I didn't dream the tip I am passing on. It came to me from the Treasury through the medium of the G.P.O. It won't seriously ' interfere with your existing arrangements for Monday—but it will be the best thing you have done for many a long season. The thought that you placed the money is going to cheer you on your .way home after the meeting, and it's about the only bet (investment is .more accurate) which will satisfy your wife. ; HERE IS THE' TIP. Just put a little' money on Trensury —in other words, set aside £7 16s 8d of your punting, money for the purchase of a Post Office Investment Certificate. That certificate will be worth £10 in five years' tinie! The Treasury will give you a parchment guarantee of that. Be. a wise man—and a sport to. the family—buy one certificate before you go to Trentham. There are no formalities ; you just go iiito the Post Office and buy it the same as you'd buy a postage stamp. You'll be given a thiefproof receipt—and you'll be a much happier man at' the end of Labour Day. There are .'£50,000,000 -already on tins certainty. .See you at TrenlKam.—Publisliod by Arrangement.
