Since the Derby was run, I have been much interested in perusing the voluminous correspondence in one of our sporting papers from readers who dreamt of, Coronach's victory the previous night. Person- ally, on the eve of a big race, I always dream that somebody shows me an ovening newspaper of the morrow's issue wherain the result is printed in vivid letters.
