The main interest in the meeting fixed for October 14 will be the Fourth Aggregate Stakes and I think the question as to the super iority of Chesapeake Bay or Christ- mas Chimes over the mile will once again occupy the attention of punt ers. I hope both animals will face the starter, but until the entries are known it will be difficult to make predictions.

By the way, I understand that the Hong Kong St. Leger is not includ ed in the meeting for October 14. A good deal of interest centres on this, race, which will be for griffins of this season. I have heard it said that Hiawatha (Mr. Soares) will be specially prepared for this event, and personally think the animal will have a good chance, but the, race is too far ahead to diapuss here The Duke of Chantilly and Grand Tatton Eve are both griffins of this season, and are likely to make a big noise when the race come off.
