Of what does the National fête of July 14 remind you? What do you know about the war of 1870 7 When the written answers were handed to him the officer discovered that more than half of the conscripts knew nothing at all about Joan of Arc, that three-quarters were ignorant of the crent conmemorated by the National file and that two-thirds had no knowledge whatever of the Franco-Germap War of 1870. Had they not been vouched for by unimpeachable authority, and if the sober Journal des Débuts had not commented on them, one would have been inclined to reject such assertions as incredible.

Like the Maiden Stakes the Lusitano Cup is a hard nut to crack, owing to the doubt as to who may start for the Valley.

HONGKONG CLUB COF-Algerine could win this; if Mr Wingard's pony does not start I fancy Rare Rose's chance, and look to see Pandur second, and Bulbul third.

* ENCOURAGMENT Stakes—This in such a doubtful lot until the numbers go up, that I offer no opinion.
