Shamrock also won the Mongal Cup, over a mile and a half, and the Grand stand stakes over a similar distance, beating in the last named event, Oriole and second Cornet. This is for good enough for anything, and as the pony is exceptionally sman, whatever beats him will be returned the winner. Rose is an ex- ceedingly handsome pony, but as he has been aniss for some time we are hardly likely to ste him in his best fem at this anerting.

The Hankow potty, sunlight, is a powerfully built customer with a strong back and loirs, and nice racing shapes all over. At a distance this pay would give the casual observer the idea that he is weedy, but on closer inspection you find that he is muscular and compact, with quatters like a horse. Gifted with an immense turn of speed, and a capability of carrying weight, Sunlight must show prominently in many races, and it is likely enough that this may be his journey. sunlight has won races over all sorts of distances, so he should prove a very dangerous customer even for cracks to oppose. Gold Bar (late First Clarinett) won the Maidens at shang hai on his first appearance in public, and has not won a race since. He was purchased by his present owner at auction for Tacks 450, in the autumn of 1880, and has been more or less un- sound until within the past few weeks. Gold Bar is a handsome bay, with a rather climbing action in front, and although very speedy, he is tot quite up to tip-top fon. Redstar finished third for the Wong-nei-chonglast year, and he will hardly improve on that position on this occasion. Handsome as a picture, with brilliant action, and attested staying powers, Mr. Mount's good-looking chesnut just missed being a rater of the very highest class. He wants a little more leng and liberty in his frame and is slightly deficient
in speed. With a stai, Redstart night probably ran close up, but his absolute victory is oat of the question. To sum up, I fancy that the first race of the meeting lies between strathpeffer and the representatives of Messrs. Paul and Gordon, and believing that the first named has to a certain extent lost his brilliant speed for short races by being trained over long distances I shall expect to see the battle fought out bet
