Another Interesting Letter From Sydney, Australia.

Tivoli Theatre; Sydney, Australia, Oct. 15, 1913. Republican: I think I wrote you a few lines some time ago upon our arrival. Well, we had a fine trip and have had a fine stay here in the biggest and most prosperous city of the southland. We have been here tor four weeks playing and one week before we opened. Everything is peaches and cream for us down here. Mrs. Reynolds is being entertained every day by luncheons and tea parties and naturally I am invited and we have enjoyed our stay here very much. We go to the most beautiful city in Southland, Melbourne, tomorrow, and open there on Saturday, Oct. 18th, for six weeks and will get a chance to see the great Melbourne cup at /Fremlngton, the greatest race of the world. Over 100 starters in it and there is about SIOO,OOO to the first horse. One thing sure, Australia has got the world beat when it comes to racing. I am going to-play Duke Foot for the Melbourne cup and as the race is run the first Tuesday in November, three weeks from now, you will know whether I win. Duke Foot is the name of the horse I am going to play. I will be in Melbourne and will see the race as we play there during the cup meeting. We go to India from here as soon as our 20 weeks are up here. On February 6 we go to Calcutta for two weeks, then go across India, continue to Bombay, 1,500 miles. Then we play two weeks there and go to Monte Carlo, Cannes and Rome for two weeks each, and one week 4n Cairo for two weeks and then to Naples, so you see we are making a round the world tour complete. During our stay in Calcutta I am going to go over to Ragoon in Burma and then I can say I have been in the southern edge of the Chinese Empire. It should be a very Interesting trip. They are making great preparations for the Giants, and Chicago White Sox out here and there are two baseball leagues all formed here, so I think the Giants will do well out here on their tour. With best regards to all the old boys at home and my friends, EARLE REYNOLDS.
