six Donoghue, winner of Derby races, most inagnetic person- ality of the English Turf since the days of the great Fred Archer, rode his last four races at Manchester to-day-without a winner.
He was to have ridden Pegomas In the final race of the day, but his de- sire to make his last publle ride a winning one for the Earl of Derby made him change over to High- jander.
Once again the "glorious uncer- tninty" of the Turf intervened. Pegomaя won. Highlander Was third.
Smiling grimly, Steve handed in his saddle for the last time, and not all the warmth of handshakes and kisses could tone for his gallant disappointment.

FULLY aware that my criticism of umpiring in local hockey, contained in last week's notes, might with some justification be stigmatised as carping, I am endea. vouring to augment those observations this week with something of a constructive nature. I will not pretend that by embracing either in part or wholly the following suggestions, a bad umpire will become a good umpire as though a magic wand had been waved over his head, but many of our hockey officials who find difficulty in handling games, may discover something in the appended notes to give them assistance.
