... Tambourine.

... Peggy. 



... Scandinavia. 



... Master McGrath. 



In all 14, of which 7 are old competitors. On public form 

 Tambourine and Zulu should be first favourites, but when following the 

 paper, the race is not always to the swift, and we would recommend the 

 Tollygunge winners not to be too confident. 



Ballygunge is well represented by Commissioner and Zil, the former 

 having been placed in three out of the last four Cup Chases, and we are 

 sure no win would be more popular than that of Mr Anderson, the 

 veteran paperchaser. 



Pilgrim favoured by a light weight should be well to the 

 front, but Mr. Alston is a doubtful starter, owing to possible absence 

 from Calcutta. The foreign division is ably represented by Sappho, 

 who ran well last week. Of the rest Rabbit has the best record, 

 but to-morrow the race will be too hot. Government House sends 

 only one representative. Captain Burn, who will be well to the 

 front, but we hardly think first past the post, and on the whole, 

 barring accidents, we are inclined to pin our faith upon Commissioner 

 with Zulu second, but we would warn the Ballygunge representative to 

 keep a good lookout for the finish and not this year to lose sight of his 

 men in the dust.

Owing to the rain last month the chase on the 12th had to be 

 abandoned, and we have only twelve this season, and a starter for the 

 Cup must have gone in at least six chases ; the regular frequenters 

 should have a very good idea of the form of the competitors. The 

 Soudan war has cost us two starters. Copper and Handicap, both 

 likely winners, and from some cause neither Lord Donald nor Othello 

 are entered, but notwithstanding the field will be fully up to the
