In the ■ Farmers , Hack Handicap and Snowdon Trot Handicap, all the horses handicapped have been paid ud for. and in most of the other races there havo been very few scratchings. Accordine; to the Continental corresnondent of a London paper, the Grand Flanenr horse Parthian, winner of the V.R.C. and A..J.C. St. Legers of 1900, ran in a race in Germany quite recently. A few months ago he was passed in at auction at 3ogs, in Ireland, and then found his way to Germany. As .Parthian is seventeen ynars old, and had been at the stud for about ten years: it is almost unnecessary to say ho finished last.
