The round for last week's school matches which was not completed on account of tho rain will be completed this week on |he days and grounds set down. This round will finish the season’s matches. At Gatwick, in the Couledon Maiden Selling Hurdle Race, two miles (says our London correspondent), F. M’Cabe cam© in second on Mr H. Miller’s bay colt Great Pun (GreatSport.—Jean’s Folly), the winner being Mr J. L. Dugdale’s Dame Archie. This horse won by a length and a-half. aix lengths separating the second and third. F. M‘Ca be and J. M. Bell were riding at Hurst Park. Mr M’Cabe arrived in England last March from Calcutta, where he headed tho list of hurdle jockeys, with 12 wins out of 19 rides, before nieeting with his accident in the Grand Annual Hurdle Race. He was at Liverpool in time to see the Grand National. In England bo is doing very little riding outside the two horses which he trains, and the horses belonging to Mr H. Miller. Last sum. taer he was in Paris for several months, where he had two rides over hurdles, and he formed the opinion that Georges Porfrement and W. Head stand alone over jumps: while Georg© Stern, Prank O’Neill, and Mac Gee could lesm nothing about flat-race riding in any other part of the world. A. horse, he thinks, that oould take the jumps at Riccartou would be able to take the course anywhere ; n England except Liverpool. So far os this latter course is concerned, he considers the difficulty of the jumps out of all reason. With regard to his future plavs, M‘Cabe intends either returning to France at the conclusion of the English season, or else he will go back to India. In a letter to me written a few days ago, the New Zealand jockey expresses the opinion that unless a stranger has some influential English sportsman to promote bis interests and to introduce him to suitable owners, his chances of engagements are very maagre.
