they have performed, they are both improving
horses, and Matador is especially dowry*, the at-
tention of those who follow good looks alone. However,
it is bard to believe he will ever bowl over his York con-

worse for his recent indisposition. Imam (by Newmiturter,

the autumn meetings at home. To my thinking, he is
just as likely to tern out Lord Stamford's best three-
yr-old as Diopbantus, and until the lot am
put together it would savour of rashness to meddle
with either; Walloon (by Flying Dutchman Nina)

the Derby " cracks." However, when beaten by rase
