A young widow who had just obtained employment in a West End draper's establishment was the holder of the ticket on Zionist —the second horse in the Derby race—in the Baltic sweep, the prize being about £SOOO, not £20,000, as erroneously reported.

It is reported that Mr. Morriss also won £50,000 in bets.
