Century Stakes of 1902 are due to-day. The thoroughbred horses imported by the Government are still at Seaton's Stables, Cashel street, and in consequence of the number of people who wish to inspect them at all hours of the day. Mr C. Wynn Williams, who has charge of them, has decided to have them stripped only between 11 and 12 in tho morning, and 3 and 4 in the nfternoon in future. Mr Wynn Williams has had to come te this decision, as be thinks the continual disturbance, is likely to prove injurious to the horses.
