Jardine Matheson & Co. and the Jardine Engineering Corporation, is the first event on the card. As the handicaps, both by welight and distance, have not yet been pub-❘ Ished at the time of writing, and there may yet be last minute changes, I am reserving my selec- tions until to-morrow morning, when

more particulars will be available as to the final line-up. This race has in past years been Iesponsible for some large divi- dends and there is every indication. that this year's event is just as open. Besides Messra, Frost and Butler, I have noticed Mr. New- biggin putting in some early morning work. The other probable riders are: Messrs. Hill, Gaubert, Nichols, Gomperta and Crowe.
