The sudden alteration in the weather, bring ing with it the prospect of a sloppy, heavy course has naturally upset the calculations of not a few of our local sportsmen with the result that nobody cares in bust 100 much to, their nwn pbservations alone for the spotting of a probable winner. In all probability we shall see, sune rank outsiders come uping in, in races which were hitherto cnusidered to be a foregone conclusion for the favourite, and the favourite tabouring heavily in the rear, while other ponies, to whom the conditions are more suitable, easily outdistance him. On the whole the meeting promises to be a good one, how ever, and it is to be hoped the to-morrow's dawn will show a glimpse of blue sky and a less sloppy state of affairs.
