who won, some say easily, at the Sky Races the other day. Zil, who 

 notwithstanding her owner's weher weight ought not be out of the race,. 

 White Star, Blackwater, Manchester and Red Knight have on several 

 occasions shown what good stuff they are made of. 



The start is advertised for the Juggernauth Car, but we advise all 

 who wish to get a good view of the chase to take up their position near 

 the sheep-pens on the Red Road, a spot long connected with Cup days. 

 Unless we have more rain, the going will not be so heavy as many 

 doubtless expect, as the heavy rain which fell on Wednesday did not 

 extend so far, and we strongly advise all who can to go and see the best 

 sporting race in India.

1883-84. 



The Paperchasing season which has been looked forward to so' 

 eagerly by the sporting community of Calcutta, commenced j'esterday,. 

 and was one of the best chases we ever witnessed. Mr. Simpson who 

 made the courses last year has gone home, but from what we saw 

 yesterday we have no doubt that his successor, Mr. Walker— better 

 known as Mr. Pedestrian— will ably carry on the good work. At 

 present, owing to the standing crops, it is very hard to get a good run, but 

 the course yesterday was very fair, though there was a little too much of 

 the lane business at the start. We hope gentlemen who are riding 

 over the same ground on Thursday, will endeavour to avoid the crops 

 as much as possible, as otherwise the good Bengalis may prove trouble- 

 some when other courses are being made. The weather yesterday 

 morning was very chilly, and everybody was shivering, mostly from cold.
