This I am sure woup. give more satisfaction to. : tne majority of competitors. —I am, etc., i ■ V', Enthusiast,'!;,. [The subject of this letter has long! been a vexed question in every class of sport. A sole hanclicapper is favoured in many quarters, yet there are those clubs who prefer to entrust the manifold duties of this office to a -body of men. ' This letter would have been better if sent direct to the management. The list of officers published in our issue of October loth, was in

accordance with the appointments made.—ED. W.P.

An ordinary cow at this price will produce £SO per annum, What can our farmers say to these profits ?—Yours, etc., Skim Milk.
