CONDITIONS FOR THE RACE

The conditions for the 'race were excellent from a spectator's point, of view, for the light was good and the afternoon not too warm. There was no sun to blind the sight of the people on the stands who were looking at the race. The going. however was very hard and pro bably did not sult many of the run- showed ners. Still, the course every sign:

of careful attention. The field was made up as was ex- pected, and there was nothing in the last-minute betting which sug- gested that anything was wrong with any of the runners. Pay Up who looked well, was favourite in the end, as he had been for a long time in the antepost "betting. Taj Akbar, Noble King and Boswell held their places in the market to the end.

There is nothing that needs to be written about, the parade on the course in front of the stands before the race. It passed off without in- cident. On the whole it must be admitted that the field was not impressive. I suppose that on looks Pay Up was the best. "although there was much to like about Bos- well and, I thought. Taj Akbar.

FIXTURE

London, May 25. -

A loss of £001 is announced in the Scottish Football League's an. balance-sheet, qual report and which were issued yesterday.

The Inter-League game with Eag- land was played on a week-day, and yielded a profit of only £911, with $1448 in 1933-34. compared The profit on the Irish match in Belfast was £7, compared with £25 in 1933-34.

The loss of £6ul compares un favourably with the proßt of al- most £800 in 1934-35, and it may induce the League to make a spe- cial effort to return to the Satur day fixture in future. The Eng fish League took away a cheque for £959 and Rangers received £100 for the use of Ibrox Park.

The share of the gate in the Irish International was £152, which barely covered the travelling and ether expenses.
