  • The runners and riders for the 5th and 6th races during a horseracing meeting at the British-built Kolkata racecourse, on 18th November 1996, in Kolkata, India. The race course was built in 1820 and is maintained by the Royal Calcutta Turf Club RCTC, founded in 1847 in Calcutta, British India now Kolkata, India and became the premier horse racing organisation in India during the British Raj. At one time it was the governing body for almost all courses in the sub-continent, defining and applying the rules that governed the sport. During its heyday the races it organised were among the most important social events of the calendar, opened by the Viceroy of India. During the 1930s the Calcutta Derby Sweeps, organised by the club, was the largest sweepstake in the world. It is still an exclusive private club and still operates the Kolkata Race Course.

  • A 'gun' grouse shooting in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, UK. Driven grouse shooting is a field sport of the UK, popular because it provides a challenge due to the rapid flight of the grouse. The grouse shooting season extends from 12 August, often called the "Glorious Twelfth", to 10 December each year. The name 'driven grouse shooting' refers to the way in which the grouse are driven towards the hunters (termed 'guns') by beaters. A shooting party usually includes 8-10 guns who stand in a line in the butts - hides for shooting spaced some 20-30 m apart, screened by a turf or stone wall and usually sunken into the ground to minimise their profile - to shoot the grouse in flight.

  • Two contestants of the world worm charming competition bend down to use a fork and a recorder to encourage invertebrates out of the ground in a field at Willaston, Cheshire, England. One woman wears a plastic helmet and the other has a worm illustrated t-shirt with a handmade sign that reads"Ive got the worms!" There are 18 rules translated into 30 languages (including Tibetan) but here these two daft ladies use music and garden tools to vibrate the earth helping the worms to the surface in a 3-metre square plot. International flags are behind but local hero Tom Shufflebotham's 1980 world record still stands at 511 worms out of the ground in half an hour. The fattest  worm ever caught weighed 6.6 grams, the most succesful method being hand vibrating a four tyne garden fork inserted approximately 15cms into the turf, known as 'twanging'.

  • Pasted to the wall in Gerrard Street, Soho, in London's Chinatown, the Metropolitan Police are appealing for witnesses to help with their investigation of a murder of Vien Xuan Cao, a Chinese immigrant who was murdered in this street after being attacked with a meat cleaver. The implication is that this was a Triad turf war, a territorial dispute between gang members of this secret society. We see the young man's face photocopied to the paperwork, laid over more traditional images of ethnic Chinese and a boxing contest promotional poster. "Can you Help?" reads the Police's appeal and alongside, the same text has been translated into Chinese for locals to read.
