ing racehorses we have frequently denounced as detri-
mental to the true interests of the turf, and we are
sorry to see a growing tendency among both the larger

haring their names in print as racehorse proprietors.
Lowman is no better and no worse than others of the
same clans. With Athol Lad he has recently scored
two or three succeeses,but we Imitate not to say that the
unfurling of bookmakers' colours, if allowed to increase,
as it unfortunately le doing, will disgust many of the
patrician supporters of the turf, and the ring men will
stand the unenviable chance of being left to play the
game of the race amongst themselves, and, like Kil-
kenny oak devour one another. Lowman hale from
the land of the west, and in those distant parts he
carries on an extensive butchering business. A book-
maker and owner being a purveyor of 'dead meat"
