WHAT THE WOOTTONS WILL DO.

Thus the "Daily Mail" re the Woottons: "In eight years Wootton rode a«2 winners-, beginnintr with m ami ending with 01- "»« largest

total was 187 m 1911. He topped the jockey table four years m succession, and twice had' the beat average, Maher claiming it on the other two occasions. Now, as-" a finale, their positions are reversed, Mtther havinpr the larger total, and Wootton the higher average. Swvnford" (m the St. Leger) and Perola (m the Oaks) are Woottorl's only classtc winners. His record is strangely, deficient m this respect. 'I' ■ want Frank to go back with me to Australia, and stay there,' said Mr. Wootton, m discussing his son's future. 'I'm returning there for good after next season. That is why I've asked Frabk to make a trip out there this winter — to see people I know and have a look at my ranch, I want him to stay there with mo if he cares to, and also ■ his brother Stanley. But the boys, have the game to play themselves. They may have different ideas from mine, > and I don't think a father .should interfere.' Those who know Frank Wootton think it good odds on his remaining m England as a trainer, and carrying on the Treadwoll House stable, with Mr. Hulton still as its leading patron."
