Mr. James V. Rabk, the million- nire racehorse owner,” who has n big, string of flat racers and jump- ers at Druid's Lodge, near Balla. bury, stated that he has appointed Harry Brown to supervise the training of his jumpers for the balance of the current season, and to become, exclusively; private trainer of his National Hunt horses next season."

Mr. Brown will continue his own stable for the time being, but it has been definitely arranged that he shall take full charge of Mr. Rank's Jumpers, and give up his own stable at the end of this sea- son,

Mr. Rank, in making this an-- nouncement, paid a great tribute to the committee of three, Frank Horris, Jack Fawcus, and Francis Sclater, who have been responsible for the training of his horses for the past few weeks.

West Ham's Triumph In English Cup Replay

A GREAT goal by Foxall led to West Ham's dramatic victory over

Tottenham Hotspur in the English Cup fourth-round second replay, at Highbury. Ten minutes from the end of normal time Tottenham led by a goal, scored by Morrison quarter of an hour be- fore the interval,

It is the opinion of Mr. E. E. Robin- son, Clerk of the Course at Cheltenham, that the decision to run Airgead Sios in the Grand National, instead of al- lowing him to contest the Cheltenham Cup first, and to make Macaulay's chief objective the Cup, was caused by the great race between Golden Miller and Thomond II. four years ago. They set up such a strong pace that they prob- ably destroyed whatever chance they might have had at Liverpool.
