CALLIOPE HANDICAP This event for "A" Class Aus- tralian ponies that have won less than $1,500 in stakes since Janu ary 1, is over the mile course. Here the result will also be very un- certain though Holiday Eve ap- pears a fairly safe bet. I have no news of. Able Amazon but this -ex-champlon, fit, should be seriously considered.

These two sprinters are worth a small investiment for those looking for upsets of this year't. Australian ponies, entered Home I believe for this event, Brew, on present form, to be the best.
