the maintenance of such a unit at sea will involve an annual charge of about #300,000 under the Bri- tish flag and will cost the Ameri- cans even more money. The pro- spect cannot be a cheerful one for the taxpayers. Possibly they may be able to influence the proceed- ings at the Naval Conference, though the chances are not very high. In the competition of arma- ments, whether on the sea, land or air, it is difficult, as experience has proved, to bring all the delegates into line and short of unanimity nothing can be done.

The children's events are divided into three classes, those from 11 to li competing in one section, while those from 8-10 will compete separately. Those under six will also have a race all to themselves.

In connection with the children, it might be mentioned that there will be plenty of prizes for them on the course."

been separated into three sections, namely for Australian ponies. China poriles and English horses.
