AUSTRALIA TO LOSE CRACK RIDER J. Foley, who was the premier jockey of Australia when the war began, gave up a retainer of 810,000 and enlisted. With the war ended, as soon as lie he could, he began riding in England, where he confirmed the reputation he enjoyed at home. That flattering inducements must have, been made to him by some English turfmen is evident from the fact that, being still in khaki and obliged to go to Australia to be demobilized, he has announced his intention of milking a trip to Melbourne and return. He hopes to make a journey occupying seven weeks, get his discharge- and re-embark on the same steamship.
