RACING AND THE WAR.

[To Ihk Suitor bXitAi'voito Poa'J.j Sir, —The silly season seems to have set-in early at Stratlimore, considering the insane attack on Captain Simsou by your correspondent "Patriot." Fancy New Zealand having sent 40 per cent, more than any other part of the Empire. "Patriot" must be mad and should see a doctor., Captain Simsou went to the Dardanelles and was nearly killed fighting for "Patriot," so that he could stay at home and write siily letters. The portion of his letter referring to the closing oi saleyards, churches and all other places where people gather instead of going to the front is a fair indication of his mental balance or else he should take more water with it before he rushes into print. Every shilling brought into the Sick and Wounded Fund from racing will cost about a fievr to produce. "Great Finance" Probably "Patriot's" friends will keep an eye on him in case he breaks out again.—l am, etc., VOLUNTEER,.
