tlit course should bo all the better for tl.o "purification" it no doubt Teccivid by the presence of the saintlv ones. Ay. B. T. Bennett, of Patca', writes to The Referee strongly condemning the action of starters in neglecting the rest oi (he field to pander to the vagaries of fractious horses. To which all sportsmen will say "Hear, hear!" The starrer is there to start horses; not to educate them in the art of starting. That is part of a horse's training, and why good horses Fhould be upset and racing delayed through one or two noted circus performers is past this scribe's comprehension.

I 'ie Jasmaman (government propose to take 10 pei pent, of the prize money won in Tattersall's sweep, instead of the 2J : per cent, wlijch they have hitherto bc-tn satisfied with, and also to collect a tax of fid on eacli 5s ticket.

Is it not time that something was done to make 'the various 'jovernments look less ridiculous in connection with this matter' But perhaps the present action of. Tas mania will have that effect. It has been living largely on the golden eggr laid by the Tattersall goose, and now it is proposing to, kilj she foolish bird.,
