In the American Cup the crew of the "Thin. tle "ars eminently a likely lot, but I shall look to see the "Shamrock" pass the winning post a little in advance of them...

The Bellion Cup I expect to sao fall to the "Leek."

The Parsee Cap for pair ours I fancy should to ourried off by Hayllar and Master but there is no doubt that Stewart-Lockhart nad Freid. richs will run them close.

For the Garrison Cup there should be a very fough struggle. Either the "Shamrock," the "Leak," or the Thirtis might be backed with very good reason. The "Thistle" in, however, the favourite and in this case I go with the crowd. For the first race on the second day, the Senior Scale, despite the very strong claims of Hayllar, I shall give my vote to Shepherd.

The Nil Desperandam Cup should be carried aft bar accidents, by the "Leak.”
