LITTER ON THE COURSE.

Apart from this there is the state of the course itself to be con- sidered. Now on an open course such as Epsom Downs and to which the public has every right, there is always a certain amount of litter such as paper, orange peel, and odds and ends of all sorts, sometimes even including bottles. This is a very serious matter and the greatest horse race in the world ought not to be run on a course offering these difficulties with possibilities of accident. In his criticism Lord Lonsdale remarked The Epsom course is the most disgraceful course I have ever seen in my life". When a sportsman with
