Several books have of late been written describing the voyage to England from Australia in one of the few surviving sailing ships. Our illustration shows another of this disappearing class, the Herzogin Cecilie, said to be the fastest of her kind afloat. The crew are “hauling the braces” at a change of wind. There is keen competition among the sailing ships carrying grain from Australia to make the fastest passage. The marchers in the picture, bottom right, are members of the Old Contemptibles’ Association, veterans of the Regular Army that wont to France in August, 1914. They are parading on the Horse Guards’ Parade for their annual inspection. Note how well set up these old soldiers are. The charming picture of boys and girls jumping a tennis not was taken at the “Children’s Wimbledon,” the junior lawn tennis championship, at Frinton-on-Sea, last month.
