NICELY WEIGHTED.
RAILWAY HANDICAP ACCEPTOR. Gascony continues to bo among the very favourably discussed candidates for the Railway Handicap, as he has every right to be on his performances as a two year old and the weight (7.8) he is asked to carry In'the big sprint at Ellerslie. There was some doubt about the King John—First Blow gelding being right for such a gruelling contest but a private gallop at Woodvllle has' firmly established the fact that everything Is In order In this connection. Everything points to Gascony seeing a very short price on Monday. If he fails it will not be for the reason that he has,an excessive load to carry over the six funong flutter.
