CROXTON PARK.

For the Granby Handicap I have been given to under-
stand that Lord Wilton's nomination (Humphrey) will
be an uncommonly good thing ; and that, in all proba-
bility, Mr. Berkeley will have the mount. Caurire is
the favourite at short odds, but has, as yet, not been
backed for much money. A field of eight or nine is ex-
pected to go to the post. Mr. S. Crawford's Harrier is
reported to have a respectable chance.
The Gold Cup.is booked a certainty for Gladiole or
Caurire.
