There is no denying the fact that it has so far been an exceptionally successful season, and, given similar glorious weather conditions as its prede cessor, I expect to see an equally large gathering of racing supporters to-morrow.

Championship honours among the jockeys have now reached the most support, and I think it has an interesting stage, and with only three more meetings to go, a good chance of winning, with keener competition should prevail.

ONE MILE

The first event on the programme is confined to "A" Class China ponies, the finish of which should be close and exciting, especially in the absence of King's Warden. It will remembered that Bear Claw (Mr. SL Yuen) was beaten by King's Warden in the Surrey Handicap last meeting, over the two miles post, but as to-morrow the distance is only a mile it should win
