CAVE AWAY £5 NOTES
"I had had a good win, and I thought some of my old friends of the racecourse would like to share in my luck.'1 This is how Mr. Walter V. Hutchinson, the wealthy racehorse owner and head of the publishing house, described to a "Daily Mail" reporter his generosity in distributing £5 notes to racegoers at Alexandra Park, near London, recently after his horse. Broad Oaks, had won the Autumn Cup at long odds. , "I don't know how much I gave away," he said, "but it was not a great deal. After all, I paid only £35 for the horse, and in the last three weeks it has earned £850 in prize-money for me, and on Saturday I won £1250. Quite a good profit, you know; much better than publishing, but of course they don't always turn out like this. "The people who received the money were mostly those I have known on the racecourse for years. Mind you, I told them about my horse, but they wouldn't take any notice of me."
