the doings of Light, Molly Carew, Fills de l'Air in the

Goodwood, and the CTOORMI at Newmarket First October ;
but whether he will run again this year is doubtful, for he

to be kept especially for next year's big events.
At Liverpool, the only item worth diecuasiog in Tues-

been a mysterious affair ever since the betting com-

look at his beet form. The Molyneux Cup and Kaowslay
