"PADDON BOOM."

FELTON DETERMINED,

FIRST RACE TO BARRY.

LONDON, November 23. The Daily Mail states: “Felton says that there is a great Paddon boom in Sydney, and that he is too far away to answer all that is being said. “But I know my countrymen well enough to be convinced that no English sportsman ever had such a reception as Barry will get,” he added. “I have given/ a. promise to Barry, and I mean to stick to it. I - prefer to give him the first race, partly because he, like myself, has. worn the uniform lam so proud ' to wear, and partly because he gave me the first chance here.” The Daily Mail repeats that Barry’s supporters are confident of raising the money needed for his trip,- but only a third has up to the present been collected.
