Merry Jester's "Race

The 2nd race at 1% mile is confined to novice riders only, who are entrusted with good mounts, and a close race may result between Bober, Magic Eve, Sir George and Tyrant Knight, and this is the order in which they may finish.

The 3rd race at 1% mile ma Merry Jester weigh out with penalty, This however should not stop him from winning, though a wet trock might do so.

The 4th race at 9 furlongs will possibly be fought out by Phantom, Royal Bee LI, The Fledgling, and The Swan. If wet, The Fledgling may win. If dry, Royal Bee I:

The 5th race is a hard one to fore-cist. However, put it down to either Cemberley Heath or King of Kings to win. The 6th race should bring out some good ponies who at handicap weights promise to make a close race of it. The Henchman stable can be represented by either Fleixstowe, 161 1b., Ranelagh, 150 1b., or Woodbridge 150 lb., and I think' any one of the three can win. Then Don Patricio, 159 1b. moon Gift, 154 1b., Fancylight, " Holy 153 lb., are all dangerous. I give Clark's naunt to win or possibly Ranelagh with Honeymoon Gift the dange The 7th, ce at 7 furlongs may be won by Shuang or Receiver-Pai Yı ship whilst Servus looks able to annex the 8th race which is also at 7 furlongs.
