able to stay the route and there are to-day many of the best judges of norsefesh in England who declare that he will lead the royal entry into the circle. If the giant American lowers the colors of the King there is likely to be some criticism of American methods. The American invasion this year is the biggest in the history of the British turf and the hostility of the English sportsmen is best fndi- cated by the fact that the handicapper has knocked all of the cracks out by hitting unprecedented weight. This is especially true of Colin and Ballot who have been weighted out of every event they have so far entered and the stable has scratched.
