(By "Veritas").
If to-morrow Mrs. Wilson and Miss Rosamund Hancock, and Mr. Kayll and Mrs. Dowling can reproduce the form which gave them such decisive semi-final successes, then predict that this year's final of the ladies' doubles ten- nis championship is going to be one of the finest in the his- tory of the competition.

SMARTER RUNNING BY DERBY GRIFFINS
NOTABLE PERFORMANCE BY ROYAL SCOT
SEVERAL TRAINING TIMES SHOW BIG IMPROVEMENT
(By "Captain Foster")
I said in my last notes that I was very disappointed with the slow cantering adopted at the Chinese New Year's holiday, but be- lieve me, there were several fast gallops during the week-end and they were certainly a treat to watch, especially the performance of Royal Scot owned by Messrs. Bradbury and Harriman. Her achievement over the mile last Sunday was the best ever galloped by a Derby Griffin during the early mornings, and her finish was, without any fear of contradiction, not "all out." It must have been a source of satisfaction to her connections when this lovely grey mare gave a true display of her energy and speed, and no doubt Mr. Harriman, who was "at the wheel”, was quite satisfied with the running of the mile in a wonderful time of 2.06.1/5.

This was the second best gallop performed by Royal Scot, the first being on Thursday, January 10, wher she covered the Champlons (14 Miles) in 2.49.4/5.

We will not see much of our second class raters in action on the first day of the Carnival, but the Curragh Stakes over a mile (which is a new event in which A and B class ponies are barred) will certainly draw a big field on the second day and we should see a good race between High Speed, Jungle Jim, Monoplane, Soldier of China and Soldier of Peace.
