There was quite and the support accorded the cash- sweeps was again high. there was only one surprise win As regards actual racing itsolf of the afternoon. The times re- corded were on the slow side, but, the whole of the events provided good close racing.

The anticipated important pronouncemont by Mr. Lloyd George on coal conciliation is undubtedly in the air and at the beginning of the sixth week's idleness at the mines the whole country is clamouring for a settlement to save the country's stricken industries. It is estimated that there are five million unemployed, affecting fifteen million women and children. Meanwhile it is generally opined that the Miners' Executive will reassemble in the middle of next week. The morning papers feature the growing strike weariness on the part of the miners and public and want to know, in the face of the owners' refusal of mediation, why an impartial tribunal should not be given au opportunity to learn why the stoppage is continuing Indefinitely as neither the owners, the Government or the minera have been elucidatory on the point.
