Over the past several weeks he has been schooling satisfactorily at T 9 Hapn and should lack nothing on the score of condition when he goes into the atarter‘s hands.

However, owing to the exceptional number of days lost to Nationai Hunt racing in England this Winter, the stewards of the Jockey 111111.). at the request. or the stewards of the National llunt Committee. recently sanctioned the substitution up till May of this year or one hurdles or sieeples for a race under the Rules of Racingpnr the addition or one hurdles or steeples to all programmes. Although introduced its an emergency measure, it will be surprising if the idea does not make great appeal to the public. in which case many executives may seek permission to "mix it" as .1 regular Venture at. spring and late autumn ii\'tures‘ (comments the Flim‘ting Lifr'. So popular are the mixed cards at the Liverpool meetings thnt it ha: long buzzled many raretzoers why others do not. stage similar programmes. Now that. they are invith by the authorities to do so. officials may discover that the difficulties are not so considerable as they thought, and increased gaie receipts will compensate for any extra trouble.
