DURBAN WAR TROPHY

At the request of Colonel W. E. C. TANNER, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., Adjutant-General, Union Defence Force, Pretoria, who was formerly Brigadier-General in command of the South African Overseas Brigade in France, the Commandant of the Dispersal Camp, Cape Province, has dispatched to Durban an enemy machine-gun captured by the South African Brigade during the last phases of the war in France. The gun is given as a war trophy to the burgesses of Durban, where so many of the members of the South African Brigade were enlisted.

Mr. S. B. JOEL’s Dinant ran second in the Clarence Hurdle Race at Windsor.

Mr. Harry PENNEFATHER, a well-known Zululand farmer, went out to look for a native dog which had been killing his fowls, and accidentally discharged his shotgun whilst getting through a wire fence. The charge exploded and entered his chest, killing him instantly. The body was found by native servants who went to seek him when he did not return.
