ROMANCE ON THE RACECOURSE.
“ Star’s ” New Serial.
AUTHORS WHO ARE BAFFLED BY THE I DRAMA OF THE TURF. I “HEADS AT THE POST.”
g Considering the. widespread and increasing interest which the p S Turf commands, it is surprising that there are so few novels with fj H racing as their background. That there is a big public for such' a H Stories was amply demonstrated by the late Nat Gould, whose Turf g || romances sold in millions. M i The explanation of the present dearth of racing stories may 1 Hf reside in the fact that so few authors know the drama and romance §=| §§ of racing sufficiently well to create fiction from them. Here, on the g !| Turf, is a world which the public knows, and the author must know H H it accurately, or his story will fail. ip A new . writer of Turf stories has recently appeared, Mr Archie M 1 Bellairs has shown in “ The Favourite ” and “ A Racing Secret ” M = that he has a thorough grip of his subject, besides being an excellent H M writer of fiction. = The “Star” has secured for its readers Mr Bellairs’s romance, 1 M HEADS AT THE POSI, the first instalment of which will appear M g on Saturday. All who enjoy a tale of the Turf, well told and true ] g to life, should make sure of getting this notable issue.
