NEW WATER JUMP FOR CHRISTMAS MEETING

NEXT TUESDAY'S BRILLIANT VARIETY PROGRAMME

PROMISE OF RECORD CROWD

(By "Ringtail")

would seem that the organisers of the Christmas meeting of the F^nling Race and Hunt Club have gone out of their way to make it something of an unusual attraction.

Owners and jockeys have been given the fullest consideration and a programme drawn up which in- cludes events for the Machine Gun Company, Hunters, Polo players, Ladies, "E" class ponies, and finally two open races.

THE PUNTER'S GUIDE

White Stars seems to be the best.nom'nat'on with Red Leaves, Cupid and Demurrer as possibles. Hefty is a good proposition, but so is Melizuarda, and Black Maria and Malakít cannot be ignored. bestval Eve the one big certa.nty of the meeting with Miss Farron on top. Watch Valley Hall and Wonderful Star for places.

The upshot of this means that ponies which are better jumpers but inferior speedstore will have improved chances of winning as against the fast runners and less efficient jumpers, which is some- what of a reversal in the previous order of things.
