[As all our readers know, Pommern is the crack three-year-old of the season. He is by Polymelus out of Merrymes. As a two-year-old he ran four times, win. ning the last two events. He has since carried off all the 1915 classics available-- Mr. Asquith, in the House of Commons, in moving the Vote of to colts; that is the Two Thousand Credit (for £250,000,000) explained that there were some abnormal items of Guineas, the New Derby and now the expenditure, for the financing of which there were certain necessary Nowmarket St. Leger or Soptember operations, which it was not in the public interest to discloso.

After reviewing the position of the war and paying tributes to the gallantry of the Russians, Mr. Asquith, concluded by saying that unis was a war of mechanism, organisation and endurance. Victory was likely, to incline to the side which could arm itself best and stay the longest. That was what we meant to do. (Great Cheering.)
