The weather, though cool and brac- ing. was extremely pleasant, and the big crowd was a representative one.

The Christmas handicap was won by Foreigner, non-faVorite, but the most sensational surprise of the day was the victory of Nameoki in the first race. as after having been quoted as high as 50 to l. was backed down to 30 to l.. The track was slow. Three out of the six favorites were beaten.

'',rhe birth of Christ was a cause of universal joy, joy diffused not only over the earth but mounting Up even to the abode of the god-head In heaven.

 Joy of the Holy Ghost.
 'The Holy Ghost also rejoices in the presence of the incornat word amongst men, and as at His baptism the spirit of God descended upon Him in the form Of a dove, so we may we'll imagine the same Divine Spirit lowering over the crib of Bethlahem and breeding with delight over the Christ child and His sinless mother. The angels rejoice that the mansions of God so long left vacant through the sin of their fallen companions shall now be filed

 And thus does the birth of Christ, whose advent the angels chant, bring joy alike in heaven and to earth
 Rejoice then, my friends and be glad as you may in the fitness of your hearts And may your joy today be only fore taste of that heavenly joy which shah be yours for all eternity
