The many readers of the Sun in EIkton
were disappointed at not receiving their
paper Christmas morning, and many
thought that it was due to Il holiday, but
this was wrong as this pap is published
every day in the year. The papers for
ElktOn must have been carried on and
not thrown off.
! A great many of the wise ones got in
on the books Saturday and gof & and =
against Harry Bennett as Champ was sup
posed to ride but Narvacz had been en-
gagged alter the slips were made ont.
When it was announced his price fell to

All the o-yrar.olds entered in to-
days race are not worth So a dozen.
Mctaulcy had very bad luck Saturday,
as he lost at least $500 on his horses
to win.
Harry liandIicid lad a swell let on
Meadows and Belle Of Killarney.
Fred I.~hcr had one OF his largest bets
he has made at the meeting on Nellie :.
Tough luck old boy, | am with you.
The flat racing season in England,
which was brought to Il 81 lu-c Saturday,
Nov. -. has been an eminent " Success
iul one for ire American "WH"rs. More
over, the performances the hOrSi's have
been more crcdilab'c than has been the
case for Il number of years, proving con-
ciusivcly that the American comparc+
favorably with the English Thoroughbred.
There has. however, been no sensational
horse among the lot. Among the Amer
lean owners whose colorS have been
borne to victory are Mcssrs. Pierre LoriI-
lard. August Belmont and James 4.
Kccnr. and Richard Croker, Mr..
Lorilard formed partnership with
Lord William I'crcSiord, and their
share Of the winnings is Of g,n-
crous proportions. In 1876 the
stable winnings amounted to so, ,jO1, 30.
and this years tola! will doubtless ylca,-
~ exceed the figures mentioned above.
The best American bred horses in the
LorilarI- Bcicsiord string were Dakka,
who ran third to tI1Nnr i'll the Do
vrridgc Handicap, and SandiA, winnrr
Of the New Biennial Stakes, and who
ran third in the CamIridgrShrc to Conn
frey. Other horses who crrditably bore
these colorS were Doiadra, puradS, i,llu.
Pigeon Wing, l.apWing II and' Glaring.
Mr.. August Belmont was represented by
Bridegroom II and Keenan,. Both won
brackets. Keenan, was sold to The Lor-
ilard-HcrrSiord Stable, and ran in the
colors Of Lis new owners in the Man
chester November Handicap. Mr.. kccnr
was unlucky. aS st. Cloud II. failed to
come up to expectations. Nevertheless,
he won the Water Beach Wc'tcr llan'i
cap Plate, was third in st. LHgrr. won
hv Cumirrv, and was second in the Cam
bridgcShilc, which he should have won.
and only lost il through the ovcr-conii-
dcncr Of Sloan, who rode him. Mr.
Croker was even more unfortunate, as
Rhoda g., by lIanovcr-NIalgcrinc, was
the only crrdi,ablr American bred horse
in his stable. AmrricuS was Il di>ap-
pointmcnt. and Santa Anita, formerly
The American horses now
in England, and among the number are
such good ones aS VOTER Arch Duke and
Rensselaer,, will have ample time to be-
come acclinmtcd by the time the fiat rae
ing season opens in lN9>, and may be cx-
rcctrd to render Il good account OF them
selves in good, but not the best COM
pany. barring unl y Voter. Others are
Ikcl y to follow them, and the coIorS Of
American racing men OF prominence will
soon become familiar to ali English turf
patrons. This will give an international
character to the sport. which will in the
rud, prove beneficial to all concerned.

Governor Atkinson showed good sense ,
when he vetoed the bill to stop football .
playing in Georgia. Nobody but gang
pi fools would try to stop Il game like
football and try to pass Il bill lcgalizing
prize fights.
