A WARM WELCOME WILL BE EXTENDED TO MR. PAUL BOTELHO ON HIS RETURN TO RIDING AFTER HIS RECENT INDISPOSITION, AND I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BE GIVEN CHARGE OF MR. GRAYBURN'S ENTRIES IN ADDITION TO
OTHERS.

I am not, how- ever, advocating a win bet as the distance is a little too short. In looking round for a likely win- ner, King's Lead, at only 140 lbs., should just about do it, provided it is again taken out by Mr. S. C. Liang. New Star has to carry 168 0lbs. and if it wins to-morrow it 5
