It's the mellowness of BOOTH'S Dry" Gin that makes it so much to be desired in cocktails. Such mellowness comes.oury from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks and BOOTH'S DRY is the only, GIN which receives such care in its mak- ing."It is not to be wondered at that the 1st prize Cocktail in the Inter- national Cocktail Competition was made with Booth's Dry."

Strong Opposition From Don Race 1. Devon

And Flying Tourist

CAN THE TIGER WIN TODAY?

(BY "MORNING DEW')

There are many keen struggles anticipated by those in the know for to-day's races.

The Tiger, having finished second to Charming Star, is likely to go to the post a hot favourite for The Glas- gow Handicap over a mile. He will have very strong opposition from Don, who is moving well these days and from Flying Tourist, another well-fancied candidate.

The Doubles is on the fourth and seventh races. The Panther and King Salmon should make a very good fight of it in the fourth race; in the seventh, Iron Grey and Swale will meet again, and this time Iron Grey is likely to turn the tables on Swale, ·

POTENTIAL CHAMPIONS LYING LOW

All the ponies that are going to dispute the "Champions to be held at the next- meeting on De- cember: 16;; are staying out from to-day's racing. It is understood | that both Night Star and Wood, land Stag are not starting, while Trentbridge and Diana Bay are not entered, nor are Warrington and Vigilance.

"EWO" HANDICAP.

Looking

Those who can pick the winner of the Arst race, the. "Ewo" Handicap, are due to go home with heavy purses as any one of the fourteen entries can win. A handicap by weight as well as by distance has rendered the task of selecting very difficult. over the entries, Devon looks a very good thing as he is in at a comfortable weight and has a con- cession of 70 yards, don't think the scratch pony Sunning will catch him, but the important question is whether he will catch some of those in front? TWD Clubs, for instance, has a concea- sion of 180 yards and should go very, near winning. Sunning scratch, but with Frost up might Scramble into a place. A good long shot is Fighting Blood, with 105 yards..

THE TIGER'S TASK,

The second raec, over a mile for "B" Class appears as though it is going to 60 to The Tiger. With Mr. Frost up' and only 154 pounds, to carry, Messrs. Tester and "Abraham's Skewbald look & very good each way bet. However, since the last meeting Don is shaping much

THE FIRST LEC

Although theravaty, statten en- tries in the fourth race for "D Class, ponies over six furlongs, the field will not exceed a dozen, and of these, only six popies have [any claim at all.

The Panther, fresh from his last victory over a mile is likely to carry the bulk of the betting since the distance is now two furlongs shorter.

That The Panther will make a good run is certain, but he

will be up against a very different King Salmon to day, as Johnny Heard has brought the Dynasty candidate along nicely during the past fortnight and it looks very much as though this afternoon, King Salmon is going to make up for his defeat of a fortnight ago.

Glen Shee with de Rozh up has a sporting chance here and if the earlier part of the race is not too fast, he may provide an upset for the favourites. Another pony that I like is Jingle, who is beginning to run once more like he did at the

beginning of the year. As a long shot, Jingle is not a bad thing.

"SPRINT EVENT.

The Crieff Handicap for "C" Clasis pontes is over five furlongs. In spite of the fact that" Alex- andra Hall is carrying as much as 163 pounds, he 'should win, as he is a sprinter of no mean merit Wakefield (165) is likely to be pro- minent here and should be a good: place bet Gold Key, California, Tillicum and Gold Ring have about equal chances for a place and the

Portia very far behind the favourites, will not have an easy time as the sternest opposition may be expect- It would not be surprising to see him win. Mayflower is also goinged from both Rosy Morn and City very well at the moment and la a useful long shot.

ST. ANDREW'S STAKES,

With Liberty Bay starting in this race, there seems to be no likell hood of a contest since he is so much better than the rest of the field Liberty Bay has not been returning very fast training gallops, it is true, but in common parlance even if he runs on three legs, he would

After Liberty Bay, the fight for places should prove interesting. Badko la as it as ever, and should be able to hold his own, against Charming Star and Blue Star King's Justice is capable of giving anako a race and the finishing, order should be Liberty Bay, Sadko, King's Austice,

of Brisbane. These three ponies are very fit, and, what is more, the mille is slightly against Portia since she is an undoubted sprinter Rosy Morn may do the trick, but City of Brisbane with Frost on the saddle has an equally big claim, and the champion Jockey has a way of handling Australian ponies that brings the best out, of them. On the whole therefore I think City of Brisbane, will win, with Partia and Rosy Morn close up The Giraffe is a good bet for those looking for long odds,.
