We bavo al ondy stateil | that race-horse duty was paid on fever hovees in 1872 thau in 1860, but the rolame before us contains figures which afford still greatar matter for satisfaction. It tells us that while 3,589 borce started in 1870 and 2,483 in 1873, no more than 2,098 were sean at the post in 1872. These figures seem to us of battar augary for the prospects of British horse-racing than the enormous prices roulised for Blair Athol, Gladiateur, and Breadalbane at the famous Blenkiton mie.
