plans for the coming season, which will
commence on May . and will continue
until the end OF July or the middle Of
August. Mr.. Vanderbilt will run only
one coach. in place of two, as in pre-
viouS years.
Lord Leconficld has announced his
intention Of running a coach to Bright
on during the summer but it has been
arranged that the Vanderbilt and Lee
coniicld tours will leave London on al
ternate days. Mr., Vanderbilt had de-
cldcd to travel by a route different from

derstood that Lord Leconfield will make
the journey by roads different from
those used by Mr.. Vanderbilt.
More than sixty horses will be en-
ployed to form the teams which Will
drag the American millionaire's vehicle
Forty OF these will be animals which
ran last year. and which during the
winter have been stalled at the farm
