FOURTEEN riders, some of whom have never ridden before,

have entered for this handicap event for Mr. J. J. Pattër- son's Cup and a thrilling spectacle is assured over the mile dis-. tance. Mr. Leo Frost, the champion jockey, and Mr. E.O. Butler, his portege, are both entered, but their handicap is likely to be too great for either to bring off a win.
