The weather prospects for this afternoor are exceedingly bright at the time of writing, and although the Valley was partially flooded early this morning the sun should have dried the course' con- siderably by the time the first saddling bell is sounded.

AMAZING TRAGEDY.

;

An amazing tragedy, which reads like some sombre religious drama in the days of the Inquisition,' is reported to have taken place in a convent at Valladolid, the Spanish city, and ancient royal capital, about 100 miles N. W. of Madrid, which is famous as the acat of the Archbishopric of Torquemada in the days of Ferdinand and Isabella and Columbus.

It is alleged that because she had told her father, a Spanish officer, of some scandalous happenings in the convant, one of the girl novices was put to death, being hanged by the puni.

Also that her father, as a result of an inspection of the convent, following the drama, shot four of the sisters dead.

Details of this alleged tragedy (the publication of which strictly forbidden by Spanish cen- sorship) appeared 11 a San Sebastian newspaper:

It appears, according to a tele- gram from Bordeaux, that the cen- sorship in the San Sebastian aren had overlooked the article.

Nevertheless, the paper has been seized for having related these scandalous facts.

By order of General Primo de Rivera, the Spanish Premier (some- times called "Dictator") the paper's publication has been suspended for three days, and it has been, in ad- dition, heavily fined.
