Racegoers will join me inwishing that both may be able to take part i to-day's racing, as otherwise their absence will be keenly felt.

During last week it was feared that Mr. Heard also, would not appear to-day, but this possibility has been happily averted and this jockey will be in the anddle after

Mr. Harriman will be steering Chesapeake Bay and Mr. Heard will ride the Chimes. The latter's ex- petituce might stand supporters of Christmas Chines in good stead, but Mr. Harriman also fully under- stands his mount, and will get all he ran out of the chestnut, which means a tearing pace during the last half-mile of the race!

MR. HC. LEE

Watch Esard's Mount Luch Alsh or Loch Etive, which- ever is selected by Mr. Heard, should account for the "B" Class. I will even go so far as to say that it Noukhail is started here be will threaten danger to the rest of the field.

The Ape redeemed himself with a wonderful gallop on. Saturs day morning, and although at one time I did not think the animal would figure prominently in this race. I think now he may have a great deal to say in the matter. There are three griffins in this face, and, the public might feel whatever about the form of these animals, they will do well to remember that the rest of the 6eld are only subs.
