AIR STUNT WARNING.
The Royal Air Force report for 1020, recently published, reveals that there wore fewer deaths from fying accidents during the year than in any year since 1921, and that more aircraft hours were flown per acoident resulting in death or injury than to any provious year.
The percentage of flying casual. tics resulting in death in 1920 was twenty-eight, compared with forty- 'one in 1928 and thirty-nine in 1927.
It is stated that the chief effect of steep banking at high speed, "blacking out," appears to be due to withdrawal of blood from the eye itself, a condition which does not incapacitate the pilot sufficient. ly to render management of the air- craft impossible.
The blacking out," however, should be regarded by pilots as a warning not to increase these offerta by turning further.

31ears. Mackie & Grayburn's Peppermint, which took third place in the Derby, will also figure among the starters. Others entered are Peppercorn, a pony in very good fcttle at the moment, though by ne neuns "classy." enough to bo s danger to the favourites, In this same category may be included The Tiger and Mike, who are simply not good enough. Blue Heaven even if at top form will find the question: of stamina a hard one to overcour?. Africna Eve has an outside chance at the best. The only pther entry, King's Colour, is a real danger. He has been consistently good since the resumption of racing in Septem- ber and might prove to be the surprise packet on Saturday next. In the remaining events, Zorhan
ť
is a notable absenteo, while Spear- mint and Majestic Hall have both inido welcome re-appearance among the entries. Ilya Mourometz also das been entered, but he is by uo means the pony he was once thought to be, and is not likely to confound the critics.
Thore are in all two races over six furlongs, three over a mile, two over a mile and a quarter, and the St. Leger. More will be written about prospects later.
