Further instances can be given without end, but the question I want answared, is, why these poor little rats of Chian ponies are given weights which no owner is his seven senses at home would think of accepting, and no handicapper think of giving. I mean, of course, when racing in their own class. What was the basis on which these waights were appɔrsioned
I am aware there was a strong feeling that it i was desirable that owners should have a chance of riding their own ponics, but in the strength of this desire all questions as to the ability of the ponies to carry those weights seem to have been lost sight of

Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry; and how valuable such a blending of these important medicinal agents must be is plain to everybody. It is beyond price in Anemia, Insomnia, Weakness and lack of Nervous Tone, Poor Digestion, Wasting Discuses, La Grippe, Laing Troubles and Blood Impurities. Science can famith nothing better perhaps nothing so good. Dr. W. H. Dalfe, of Canada, says: "I have used it in my practice and take pleasure in recommending it as a valuable tonic and reconstructive." It is a remedy that can afford to appeal to its record. and represents the science and knowledge of bright and aggressive medical investigation. Effective from the first dose. "You cannot be disappointed in it," Like all good things it is imitated. Sold by chemists throughout the world.
