The attention of officers entering horses is specially called to Part IX. of the 
National Hunt Rules, non-compliance with which may lead to disqualification. 
The age of horses must in all cases be given, those more than six being described 
as aged. If the sire and dam are unknown, it is best to say “pedigree unknown,”’ 
and then add where, when, and from whom purchased. As entries made beforehand 
can now be withdrawn up to the time of closing, officers who are uncertain as to the 
formality of their entries, should send them in sufficient time to enable the 
Secretary to return them for correction if necessary. Entries made by telegram 
must give the full description, age, &c. as fully as those made in writing.

Tue first of what it is hoped may be a series of annual R.A. pantomimes took 
place at Gibraltar this year at the beginning of January and proved completely 
successful. 
The pantomime selected was that by H. J. Byron, entitled “ Aladdin or 
the Wonderful Scamp,” into which many topical and local allusions were written 
and several up-to-date dances and songs introduced. 
One great feature of the entertainment was the beauty and finish of the dresses 
and make-ups which were furnished partly by Clarkson of London and partly by 
Mr. Nannia of local fame. Another very popular feature were the children’s
