The new arrivals have in- dulged in some fast work during the past week, and while it is no easy problem at this stage to spot the likely winner, I shall not be far wrong in saying that Aztec, belong to Mrs. L.

On Sunday, January 17, Aztec was clocked at 1.26.2 for threequarters of a mile, and was well held in returning 23 secs. over the last quarter. On Sunday last it created a very satis. factory impression among rail fans by turning in 157.2 for the mile, when its last quarter was done in 27.2 without being fully extended. It will thus be seen that Mrs. Dunbar has a first class animal from which much may be expected.
