on the odours of their caps, sleeves, and belts, till they
might sloped drive Owen Jones mad? Shall we have
thin or four or five or six horses from one stable?
And with whom will the owner declare to win? For.
tunately, like many • formidable county eourt list, we
know that many of the cases will be settled out of
work and that of the scores of horses on the card, the
larger number will be scratched, and only • very small
per-eentage is likely to come to the post. Otherwise,
hew theeeewenl, would the spectators get confined in
white with green 'trifles, green with white, yellow
and orange, pink, mauve, red, and ehocolate-colour,
until, like eslebreted Lord Dundreary, they must be
fain to place the distinction of the horses in the climatic,
among those things 'that no fellth can understand."
You will observe too, philosophic, and enquirirut

strange teener of effeminacy, worn by the swells of our
day, was daunted, and he might well ask "Who are these

But alt of them turn northward as the hoer
of one panes, and the magic time two o'clock, that
fixed for orwamenting the racing, approaches. It is a
dusty walk that Preston road, and the serriws and
their onnpants have little pity for the poor pedestrians
as they trudge along. Eyes, and nom, and mouth, of
those who happen to be inward, get flied with some-
thing approaching to the ultimate atoms of limestone

and drinks are trundled along, if their vendors cannot

their owners think eligible positions, but which do not
always prove so In the end. No betting is allowed out-
