The inclusion of Widnes owned by Mr. Reidy will. I am sure. add interest to the pari- Coronation Day (W. Poy)

Chlet interest will no doubt be centred in the Kwangtung Handicap, for apart from the special dollar cash sweep conducted by the Hong-

Sometimes a brilliant pony in training runs disappointingiy in race and without prejudice, Boronia Belle owned by. Mr. A. W. Hughes, seems to be under this category. In course of preparation' for the Annual Carnival, the best gallop over the Derby course was performed by Boronia Bella who covered the circult in 3.10, but the lady has not lived up to her reputation. Among her five outings, Mr. Hughes' damsel was placed twice in short distances and it looks, therefore, that the Jaunt to- morrow is not to her liking.
