WILL LIBERTY BAY BREAKTM ANOTHER RECORD?: THE BEST PONIES

(By, "Captain Foster")

To-morrow will see the penultimate race meeting for the year at Happy Valley. The programme consists of eight races for all classes of ponies, and we should see good racing, and close finishes, with no pronounced favourite, excepting in the St. Andrew's Stakes (the principal race on the card) in which Liberty Bay should again have matters all his own way.. The pony is in fine condition, and will no doubt perform the hat-trick by registering his third successive win in the St. Andrew's Stakes.
