THE
TWELFTH EXTRA RACE MEETING.

SOME LIKELY WINNERS AND OTHERS.
{BY
MORNING DEW."]
Of the nine enees on the card to-day, no fewer than seven are handicaps and it looks very much as if several, handsome pari- matuel returns will be made during the day.
The programme opens with nu unofficial hurdle race and hero I have no doubt that Mr. Stanton's Christmas Frolic will com- and all the support. As's jumper, Christojas Frolic has proved himself thoroughly dependable and if, anduled for the first event, Mr. Stanton' should have little difficulty in annexing the honours.
has also entered Target and November and though these ponica are good, they are nowhere near Christmas Frolic.
Apollo who holds the local five furlongs and one mile records will be seen in action again to-day. He will be carrying 171 poandr over seven furlongs and however good he is there will always be someone willing enough to back some of our local crackerjacks against him.
At the laat "extra, haneurs among the jockeys, were fairly even and it seems that today we shall again find the juckeya shar- ing the spoils equally...
