Butters has done splendidly for Lord Derby, and the racing world was staggered when it was heard that at the end of the season this popular combination of owner and

trainer was to end.

Every one who knows anything knew that there never was a more honourable, straightforward, able trainer than Butters, and every one also knew that a man with a wide world reputation for the highest form of sportsmanship like Lord Derby would not dismiss a faithful and brilliant servant without good

If I had to name the most im proved jockey riding I should say Tommy Weston. Ho may take this us a doubtful compliment, but I think that he has been riding not only strong, dashing races, but brainer races than ever before.
