Apropos of Mr Prank Gardner's offer of .£30,000 for seven years control of Miscba Elman's musical services, it may be recalled (says a Home paper) that the foundation of Mr Gardner's own great fortune was laid in a very odd way. It was about 15 years ago, M.A.P. says, and ho was out in Australia acting"as manager to Miss Carrie Swan, a singer and actress lately arrived there from America. Excitement was over the great annual racing carnival; and everyone was •' talking liiorse.'' While reading over a new sensational play to his leading lady Mr Gardner came on the line, " 'Vengeance is mine," said the admiral, and he rushed for his Carbine. In an instant Miss Swain jumped to her feet, and said, " It's a tip for the treble Take it." Mr Gardner took her advice, put all the money he had on Vengeance, Admiral, and Carbine respectively for the Caulfield Cup, the Victorian Derby, and the Melbourne Cup, and when the great Carbine clinched the triple event by winning the Melbourne, Cup in record time and with a record weight Mr Gardner was a wealthy man. The lucky investment of this win in New Zealand and Australian stocks soon made him a millionaire.
