THE WELLINGTON RACES.
TO THE EDITOU. gnq Your correspondent “Hairless Horse” suggests that the stewards of the forthcoming races should alter their programme by adding a race for butchers’ horses exclusively. I cannot see the necessity for this, because there is to be a hack race on each day, for which such horses can be entered. These hack races may make fun, if not sport, but two in one day would not be tolerated by the general public, who are expecting the Jockey Club to bring together horses of the highest class. Let “ Hairless Horse” go in for the hack races as advertised ; he would start a hot favorite, for being bald he would carry less weight than the other competitors.—l am, &o. Silk Jacket.
