_, •'•-•■ . j THE chief event, however, is the 4.42 Cup. Twelve horses have paid up, but of this number it appears as though the issue is between only three. That at least is the - opinion of astute followers of the game, who believe that Grand Light, Carmel and Cornelian will fight it out. . Grand Light ran a fair second at Wellington, and being- a - promising three-year-old and m J. Bryce's establishment he will naturally appeal.
