The thirteen youngsters engaged in the M'Lewi State? include two representatives of Chokeboro'Lodge, mi Purple Spur (Antagonist,— Hea-fclierbrae) and, Red Hind (Autumnus—Kimonruir).

Sir George Clifford won the last two races with Royal Stag and Winter Wind, both sired by Antagonist. Itoyal Stag won both classic races, andi it will not be surprising- if Turf history repeats itself in the case of Winter Wina, who has been successful in his only previous appearance this season at Ashbui'ton. Another recent winner engagedl is Listening Post, who was successful nf. Gißraldine. He ran secondl to Winter Wind in the Middle Park Plate, *nd: will probably be the latter's most dangerous opponent at Wingatui.
