An exchange says that the London and North-Eastern Railway has adopted the ancient custom of naming each of its locomotives, except that in this instance they bear the names of favourite racehorses rather than the names of famous events in English history. Thus far the Turf kings honoured are Ormonde, Robert le Diable, Donovan, Persimmon, Flying Fox, Hermit, Papyrus, Lancaster, and Ladas. The Southern Railway has a number of engines, named after famous English jockeys, including Steve Donoghue. A Sydney jockey, now in England, is better placed than having a railway engine named after him. He owns a row of cottages at Randwick bearing the names of horses on which he won important races. The Fortuity Park Trotting Club lias received excellent acceptances for its Fleet Meeting. Amongst the horses engaged are Logan Lou, • Whispering Willie, Dolly Dillon, Pearlie Chimes, Loganwood, Bell Harold, Harold Burwood, Coldwater, Le Todd, Bruce, Rita Rye, Ratana, Nighborn, Bonny Spec, Pete Peter, Swiftbine, Moneyspider, Merry Bingen and Golden Devon.
