Here is a consistent light-weight. Harvey Covey, who rode Cornbury when he won the last Great Metrobolitan at Epsom, is 58 years of age, and can turn the scales at 6.7.

We would advise all our readers who like to see a really good comedy well put on and acted to go and witness the production by the University College Dramatic Club of “ Cyril’s Success.” The play will be staged on Thursday and Friday of this week, and is being produced under the personal supervision of Mr Archdale Tayler. The Club have gone to a considerable expense in procuring new costumes and scenery for the play, and a local club which procures its necessaries from local tradesmen deserves to be encouraged in turn. Last year the Club’s production of “ The Rivals ” drew a packed house, and it is to be hoped that similar houses will greet our University amateurs on Thursday and Friday next.
