WHITSUN RACING BEGINS TO-DAY.

APOLLO FOR AGGREGATE STAKES: INTERESTING PROGRAMME FOR FIRST DAY.

SOME SELECTIONS FOR PUNTERS.

[BY MORNING DEW."]

A turf carnival has been arranged for racegoers over the Whitsun holidays. for, the Sixth "Extra" Races Meeting extends over two days of ten races each."

Given good weather, there should be a very big attendance at Happy Valley to-day especially as there are not many counter attractions. The entries in the various races indicato good fields and it is safe to say that some big dividends will be paid.

The only certainty of the day appears to be Apollo in the Fourth Aggregate, Stakes, but if Gleneagles is saddled for this event, a very good racq will be seen. Apollo has defeated Hetman' i convincing fashion over the mile. He has also accounted for King's Bounty over six furlongs and Sitting Bull over a mile.

ASSURANCE.

No Penalty for Batsman Who Got Out.

Sir Edwin Stockton, entertain- ing the players and some friends the Lancashire County Cricket Club at Old Trafford, made the interesting statement that the players will not be penalised for getting out in an attempt to force the pace of the game." He was not, he said, speaking for the com mittee, of which he is chairman, but in his private capacity; but he was sure he expressed the voice

That is the best answer to those erities.

It will mean brighter play and probably more interesting play, and they nay win the championship on it. It is the committee's wish that they should adapt themselves, and they will not be penalised for making too big an effort in that. direction.
