It was a rattling good gallop, and both were going along well at the finish. Rehearsal is to contest the principal event, the Hesley Memorial, and indications are that the Limond geldinn will be one of the chief fancies. He is to be ridden by K. Cliote. Dynasty is on top of the list in the Hack Cup with 8.12, and will be opposed by a stYong Held, but lie is in great fettle, and must be very hard to beat. Xo rider has yet been announced for liim.
