I ———*——— Stewards: His Grace the Duke of Westminster, Marquis of Cholmonddey, Earl of Ennis- le illon, Earl of Crewe, Earl of Sefton, Lord Arthur Grosvenor, Sir W. Williams Wynn, Bart., C. J.

The preseinoc of his Majesty the King, aided I by the abundance of the entries and the excel- lence of tho arrangements, are- almost certain to make the present gathering on tho Roodee a brilliant record. That those rcs-ponilbl-e for \h" maanagainieiitj olf t;ho meeting have left nothing undone that was calculated: to conduce to suoih a result, goes without saying, when it is ooroombored that the chief of these are such capable and well-tried officials as Mr. W. E. Bunhby, thg alert and courteous clerk of the oourse; Mr. F. J. Warmslcy, the efficient and enorgotio secretary and manager; and his genial ftud up-to-datie lieutenant, Mr. John Dodd. Among the more noticeable preparations this year, in and about the stands, the provision of a Royal box in the County enclosure, for the use and convenience of tho King, at once attracts attention, by reason of the ohaste and harmoni- ous scheme of decoration employed, this being tho work, we understand, of Meos-rs. Brown and Co., of this city. On the other side of the course a marked improvement has bean effected, the Paddock having boon enlarged sufficiently to enable two rings, instead of one, being made in which to parade the horses prior to the Several races. This is a great convenience, and is sure to be highly appreciated. THE COUNTY STAND. With the exception of ona heavy shower, which laid the dust in the morning, the pros- pects for the day were delightful. Previous to the commencement a heavy ehower fell and continued for some time, but afterwards mat- ters improved. As usual the County fetand was well filled, every seat having been booked. The scene on tho 'awn and in the Paddock was an attractive one, the smart gowns of the ladies adding much to the effectiveness of the picture. Several leadirtg houses entertained parties. The Duke and Duchess cf Westminster wero present with a large party, the following being a list of the guests: The Duke and Duohetis of Teck, the Earl and Countess of Mar and Kellie, the Earl and Countess of Essex, the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl and Countess of Sefton, tin, Earl and Countess of Lonsdale, the Earl of Enniskillen, Lord and Lady Lur- gan, Sir Edward and Lady Constance Stewart Richardson, Lady Edith Villiers, Sir Reginald and Lady Beatrice Fob.-Carew, the Hon. G. and Mrs. Keppel, the lIon. G. Lambton, Gen. Soobell, and Mr. A. Coventry. Lord and Lady Arthur Grosvenor brought a small party, including Sir Berkeley Sheffield Bart., M.P., and Lady Sheffield, Captain I áe Hon. and Mrs. G. Portriaii and Mrs. G. But- teet. Lord Harlech also entertained a party, in- cluding Lord and Lady Penrhyn, Sir illiani and Lady Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. Doug-as Gor don. Colonel the Hon. W. LanCfcon and CM. G. Bouverie. Many missed the fa.miliar figure of Sir Wat- kin Wynn (chairman of the Chester Race 00.), who regularly attends the meeting, but who is a bsent abroad this year. Messrs. 0. J. Wil- liams, C. S. Newton, and J. C. Upton however came from Wvnnstay. Among others present, were the Marquis of Cholmondeley, Lord Ivcnyon, Lord Gerald Grosvenor, Sir Phtlip H. B.

Kellock, etc. The going to-day was perfect, and it was a groat pity that the runners were not more numerous to take advantage of it. It is true a good start was made with a field of fifteen for the opening event, the Costrian Welter Handi- cap, but afterwards the number of the competi- tors was by no means commensurate with the value of the Stakes. The only runner in the Cestrian Welter last year who was entered for the raoo this year was Hand-in-Hand, and ho was once more ele- -vat,ed to the top of the handicap. He did not, however, again essay the task of carrying 9st. 61b. round tho Roodee (on which he finished second in 1907, after being backed down to 6 to 4). A favourite was found in Mr. Carr'a Amelia, but there was good money also for Pym, Peter Bell, Pastry, Spring Seat and Chaff, [while several OthOl' runners were also well backed at 10 to 1. The favourite had nothing to do with the finish, only getting fifth plaoe, her exact position, singular to say, in the draw. Ill fact, from flag fall there was only one in it, and that Pyra, who won in a canter by five lengths, his nearest attendant at this respectful distance being Mr. Rothschild's Pastry, who won the Ormonde Plate hero Last year. The winner was subsequently retained by Mr. An- derson for 120gs. Eight were weighed out for the Roodee Maiden Handicap, and of theee the public fastened on to Gallop Along and Protoplasm as likely to supply the winner, but neither got nearer than fifth (this was Protoplasm), with Gallop Along further in the rear. The winner waa forthcoming from among the "10 to 1 Others" division, the locally owned and trained Click Clack, the property of Mr. J. J. Cowap, of Sealand, who was ridden by one of his own Apprentices, little Fred Mason, a brother of the well-known steeplechase jockey, Frank (Titoh) Mason. As the judge's verdict was a short head young Mason is to be highly congratulated upon his victory, the first, we believe, since he began riding, and gained, too, at his home meeting. Roars o' Laughter, who finished fourth, was drawn No. 1, but started from the outside posi- tion, for some reason. The way was now clear for the great event of the afternoon, tho race for the Vase, which last, year was full of excitement and ended in a dead heat between Mr. Bass' grand mare, Baacy (wiio has sinoo died), aod Mr. J. B. joel,m Earlston. The stakes were divided, and, as the favourable result of the spin of a coin, Mr. Bass took possession of the Vase. This year Mr. Joel had no representative in the raoe, nor hod the Duke of Portland, who supplied the third to the dead heaters in 1907, by the aid of the Colt by Ayrshire—Miss Gunning II. (since named Bruges). He had made half a dozen entries, including Bruges, but all had to be withdrawn, unfortunately. Of the Duke of Westminster's five entries one only survived the exigencies of training, etc. This was Morena, who made her first appearance this year in the Two Thousand Guineas, when she finished seventh to Norman III. (an American-bred and owned horse), Sir Archibald, and White Eagle. This form was evidently not considered good enough to oppose Galvani, and the field stopped I short at three, a great change from last year, when there were eight, runners. Galvani's an- tagonists were Lord Derby's Glacis and Mr. Rothschild's Quelpart. The latter won the Stamford Two-year-old Plata hero last yea-f. Glacis's last appearance was in the Great. Metropolitan, when he finished fifth, prior to which he had won the Queen's Purse at Kemp- ton Paik. Liberal odds wer laid on Galvani, with Quelpart luke-warmly supported at 5 to 1 and Glacis at a point longer odds. The trio were drawn, paraded, and finished exactly as their names appear on the caid. Glacis, how- ever, made most of the running fsom the favour- ite, but when fairly in the straight, Dillon closed with Glacis, and finally won somewhat cleverly, the judge's verdict being a head. The Belgiavo Walter Handicap, usually a good betting i aoe, did not prova so to-day, for of the eight attracted to the post. only three were backed. These were Silver Bay (who was a warm favourite), Drusus (Mr. Thursby's mount), and Sketchy Bits. The favourite got badly away, and only Drusus of the backed horses got into the first throe, the winner being a despised outsider, Tullochgorum, who got lefr. in the Roodeve Maiden Handisap lfol" which ii,i, wa?, bacifeci It 6 to 1 last. Here lie fought out a grand finish with Drusus, and won by a neck. staiting at 100 to 3, his performance in the earlier race frighten- ing would-be backers this tinw. 6e-n turned out for the Mosiyn Two-years- old Plate, and of t.he«e backers pinned their faith mainly to Temnos. Mr. Reid Walker, who ran Flying Fortune and Duke Michael, declared to win with the first-named, but she could only manage to finish second to the favourite, beaten a length and a half, with Mr. Alexander's Howick thini. The concluding event, the Eaton Maiden Plate, was contested by a quartette, of which Glos, ridden by Maher, was backed at evens, with 5 to 2 betted Arabian Night. The favour- ite got rather badly away, but he gradually got on terms, and entering the straight, Maher sent him out, on the ouiside, and wearing the leader down, eventually won by a head. tal Is —• CESTRIAXSELLING WELTER HANDICAP PLATE of 200SOV3.—Five furlongs. 3 8 Mr. W.

I WEDNESDAY. I THE CUP DAY. I LORD DERBY'S SUCCESS. i It was by no moans an idoai Chester Cup day, '1 frequent heavy showerc, detracting consider- ably from the enjoyment of the huge crowd present. Unfortunately the chief event was run in a drenching rain, and wha.t is usually num- bered among the prettiest racing spectacles of t,ho year, was to a large extent spoiled, though, happily, it is always easy to distinguish colours. The King paid his firsc visit to the meeting since he ascended the Throne, and watched the sport with interest from the Royal box. The attendance was of enormous proportions. All the stands and enclosures were packed. Had the weather been in its happiest mood, the cele- bration of this year's Cup would have been one of the liKwt memorable and enjoyable in its lengthy history. Among those who attended the races on Wedne.vday, in addition to most of those whose names have already been given, were the Right Hon. George Wyiidham, M.P., and the Coun- tess Grosvenor, Lady Greenall, Sir Peter Walker, Mr. and Mw. P. Tatton Davies- Cooke, Lady Jardine, Lady Elliott, Mr. H. R. Hughes of Kinmel (Lord-lieutenant of Flint- shire), Mrs. Cotton-Jodrell, Captain E. Wynne Griffith and Mr. Wynne Griffith, Mr. Mond, M.P., Captain Lockett, Mrs. G. Cornwallis- West, Mr. C. Dewhumt, Mr. J. Hartley Bibby, Mr. Ralli (Liverpool), Mr. W. Paul, Mr. H. B. Toller, Mr. Stanley Owen, Mr. W. Wigg, Mr. J. M. Frost, Mr. H. F. Taylor, Mr. Ephraim Wood. Mr. B. E. Phillips, Mr. C. W and Miss Tomkinson, Mr. R. C. Vyner, Mr. J. Alex- ander, his Honour Judge Moss, Mffl. Stapleton Cotton, Mrs. Orred, Major J. M. Gordon, Mr. W. Pritckard (Trcfnant), otc. The day's programme provided a succession of capital fields and thoroughly brisk and in- teresting entertainment. It opened with the City Selling Plate, which found Otherwise, the winner of the Prince of Wales's Handicap here last year, open favourite, but he gave way to St. Paul when the barrier went up. Otherwise was loft, and Avobury got badly away, and the race fell to the share of The Squaw, who started at 7 to 1, and was afterwards purchased by Mr. Joliffe for 240 gs. Jack's Folly, third to Winkbourno at Lewes, had the largcot follow- ing of those taking part in the Badminton Two-Year-Old Plate, though Dik Dik, a winner at Newmarket last week, Socana, Topaz, and the St. Marina. filly, were each well backed at 5 to 1. Dik Dik and Gaelic Monk were left at the post. Topaz led until close home, when Randall brought Hetman with a rare rattle, and won by a lioad. Tho winner is a 60n of Volodyovski and Minting Queen, tho property of Lord Falmouth, and this was his first appear- ance in public. Generally speaking, this year's Cup has been regarded with apathy, a state of things which arises more from the almost total decline of ante-post wagering than any waning popu- larity of the time-honoured race. The extra- ordinarily smart performance of Glacis in run- ning Galvani to a head for the Vase the pre- vious day had, to some extent, revolutionised the aspect of the race, but, strange to say, there was no greatly sustained demand for him when the fielders opened business. Though nominally favourito, Lord Derby's gelding weakened considerably at the eleventh hour owing to the significant support for Asti- cot and Mre. Lyons, who started first and second favourites. It was considered that Glacis was none the worse for his race in the V=I but many people profeæoo to be pre- judiced against him on account of previous vagaries and the circumstance that he is an altogether different animal with a boy in the saddle than he is with more powerful a«iist- ance. Tho mc?t imposing animal in the field was Torpoint, who, being a son of Trenton, should, with his size and bone, mak e an ideal stallion one of these days. Baltingiass was decidedly on the big side, and although his aotion is as good as ever, he will perhaps not be seen at his best until later in the season. Royal Dream and Cuffs were sweating pro- fusely but, as a matter of fact, several of the others were in. the same plight. This may have arisen from the close atmosphere, which seemed to preesage another violent thunderstorm. "I thought," says "Hotspur" of the "Daily Tele- graph," "St. Ollalia looked better than she did at Newmarket, and, despite her failure there, everyone connected with her wtus reatsonably sanguine if not over-oonfident. Mrs. Lyons is a very nice mare, and, if a. bit light of bone, possesses some of the St. Simon quality. She is a daughter of Desmond, and inherits rare staying capacity. She had won over four miles in Ireland last year, and she was immensely fancied, but whether it was that she would not face the rain or not I cannot sav, but the prob- ability is that she was a bit outclassed. There was some support for Baltingla6e, but he never flattered in the least, although, on the other hand, he did not disgrace himself. The draw for places at the post makes more difference on this course than most others, and therefore it may be mentioned that the inside berths were secured by Wise Mason, Paso Robles, Mrs. I,yens, and Glacis; while an the extreme outside were Baltinglass and Royal Dream. Cuffs lashed out more than once, and kicked Corduff. When the barrier waa raised the latter got so badly away that he was never in the hunt, nor did Mrs. Lyons or Cuffs begin well. With Wi-se Mason settling down in ad- vance of Astioot, St. Ollalia, and Glaois, there was no very material ollan-go in the positions of the leader3 until about a mile from home, where Glacis momenbarily lost his place, but he came again along the baok stretch. At the Grosvenor turn, Wise Mason and A6- tioot wore racing side by side cloor of St. Ollalia, who at this point was in difficulties. Glacis, who was lying fourth, made up his ground at such a tremendous rate that below the distance he had joined issue with the other pair, and soon afterwards drawing away, fol- lowed by Wise Mason, he won in decisive style by three lengths, with Asticot third. It waa quite a popular victory, and those who failed to support Glacis after the splendid public trial he ran on the opening day had only themselves to blame. It is, nevertheless, remarkable that the first two horses in the Chester Cup had in- curred a 141b penalty. The spectacle of two such heavily-penalised horses occupying the loading berths in one of the best-endowed han- dicaps 0:> of the season was far from edifying to other owners. Torpoint never shewed prom- inently, and the bad beginning made by Mre. Lyons naturally prejudiced her otaance, though even so she seemed deficient in pace. Wrea Green had the largest following of those taking part in the Deo Stand Welter, with Pastry, who had run prominently in the opening race of the meeting, next in request. A slow beginning probably oontributed to Wrea Green finishing third instead of winning, and in a eloge finish Slip Up won 01 a head from Woodspring, but failed to realise a bid at the auction which followed. On the strength of a runaway victory at Pontefract, Sir Harry was a strong order for the Stewards' Maiden Plate, with Impulsive and Peter Burges well supported. The vati- cinators were again at fault, as the winner was forthcoming in the 10 to 1 ohance. Bulldog, a colt by Ladas—Skimmery, whose first appear- ance this was in public. His victory credited the Kingsclere stable with its second success during the afternoon. The Prince of Wales's Handicap attracted a large field to the post, and found Azzur, unplaced to Fra Diavolo at Newbury, throughout a pronounced favourite, with Dusty Lad next in request. Azzur de- layed the start, and never shewed prominently, the race falling to the filly by Little Champion —Soubrette, who last week ran next to his stable companion, Galania, at Manchester. She is the property of Mr. Scedall, and started at 10 to 1. Her jockey wore a green jacket with white striped sleeves, as Mr. S'tedall's proper jacket, which had been carried by Wioo Mason in the Chester Cup, was saturated with rain and covered with mud. A heavy day's racing terminated with the Stamford Two-Year-Old Plate, in which Caw, an aptly named daughter of Just Cause and Beaker, the property of the Duke of West- minster, setrled down with just the call of Ute. In an exciting finish between the pair Uto won by a head, largely due to the vigorous hand- ling of Madden, and thus repeated for Mr. Leopold do Rothschild the success which he gained in this race last year by the aid of Quelpart.

POINTS. I I ▼ The history of old-age pensions is interesting. The idea first was broached at a con- ference of a hundred members of the House of Commons, which included a solitary Radical. Now the Radicals have taken up the question, and have produced a measure. The only mistake Mr. Asquith makes is in omitting to find the money for the pensions. Next year, if the present Govern- ment survive so long, they will be at their wits' end to provide the funds to pay the pensions. If the Government should be deposed in the meantime, it will be left for the wicked Tories to find the money, which can come, on a sound financial basis from Fiscal reform alone.

DRESS AT THE PACES. -1 Dress at Chester on Tuesday waa extremely pretty and much varied. Some, beguiled by tho morning sunshine, woro in light fabrics and colours, nc)b a few wearing muslins and silks. High-crowned hats, loaded with flowers and plumes, were the rule; short, pleated skirts, and elaborate race-coats were seem overywhere, with the new vary short HoOCk rufiles. The sun- shine and showers of the afternoon naturally created a little diversion in t.,e way of um- brellas and sunshades. Lady Lonsdale's green gown and velvet coat were worn with a hy. ltI1a.I1.gea elutelxxl hat; Lady Essex wore a pale bliue gown and ooat., with a black liat and a quaint black satin neck ruffle; Lady Beatrice Pole Carew was in grey, her feather boa and hat to haimouis?. Lady Sefton had on a black hat with her gown of grey and white eheiek vel- vet. A pretty blue gown was worn by Lady Lurgan, with a blue liat in acoord; a.nd Lady Mar and Kellie's purpla hat was in charming contrast with her French grey gown. Mrs. George Keppel had on a navy blue muslin gown powdered with white spots, and a very largo hat garlanded with green foliage and blue flowers. Lady Buchanan Jardine was in pret- tiest blue, her hat in liarnioni-yiiig tliits. Lady Harieoh wore black, with relief of white boa and white fcat-hers in hor hat. Mrs. Cotton wore dark green and' a black and white toque, and Mi-. St.apleton Cotton Was wearing a pic- turesque blue plumed hat with her dark gown. Lady Ilanmer was in black. Mrs. -Nlaxwell Glegg's black velvet raoocoat was worn with a homespun gown and a hat with flowers and touches of blue. Mrs. Beauford was in grey, with a white race-coat and a bonnet, of ruby tulle and plumes; Mrs. C'ccve wore black, and Mrs. Roeva, who was in smoke-grey touched with crimson, wore a hat. to accord, with grey and crimson featiters. Mies Josephine NeolBOll wore a brown costume and hat to accord. Mrs. Hayes had a handsome blllek gown, with a white feather boa and a toejue with plumes. Lady Boughey wore black, with a black plumedi hat. Mis. Yerburgh was in black, her ha.t swathed with purple chiffon. Mrs. Hornby lawis had a pretty gown of sacin striped chiffon over white, and a blaok tulle toque with loops of blue ribbon.—"Liverpool Courier." All the ladies picsent seemed determined to do honour to Cup Day, and put on.their smartest fipring toilettes, and some really very pretty costumes were to be seen. Naturally at this timo of year all colours are fashionable; but the critical eye could see that once again blue was the favourite, in shacfos ranging from navy through sapphire-cobalt to tKe palest Nattier and pastel tones. Another popular hue waa cinnamon brown. Roo", ooloar invariably looked well, wid lavender-greys, purple, ftuaethyst, &ad Parma violet found many wearers, as odjid r?.

I The parade was carried out in the order in which the competitors appeared on the card. Cuffs kicked Eurotas at the poet, and the barrier ascended to an indifferent start, Mre. Lyons and Corduff being broadside on. Wise Mason, on the inside, made play from Asticofc (in the centre), Devereux, Glaois, Baltinglass, Eurotas, and St. Ollalia (next to the outside), with Royal Dream (on the extreme outside) and Paao Robles next till racing along the Deeside, when Devereux went third, in front 9 St. Ollalia. Baltinglaes and Eurotas, these being weU clear of Glaois, Royal Dream and Torpoint. At the Grosvenor Bridge turn Devereux took up the running, followed by St. Ollalia, Asticot, Wise Mason, Baltinglass, Eurotas, Royal Dream, Glaeis and Torpoint, but passing the stands a second time Devereux wao headed by St. Ollalia, Astioot and Wise Maaon. Then at a slight interval came Baltingla.s, Eurotas and Glacis, with Torpoint the most prominent of the others. Seven furlongs from Ilomc Wise Mason regained command, pursued by Asticot, St. Ollalia, Baltingluag, Glaci- Cuffs, Torpoint, Devereux and Royal Dream. Approaching the Grosvenor Bridge turn for the last timo St. Ollalia was beaten, whereupon Glacis rapidly improved his position, and, resolutely chal- lenging Wise Mason on the out-side entering the straight, Lord Derby's colt asserted his superiority at the distance and won in a canter by three length; a length and a half between the second and third. Royal Dream was fourth, St. Ollalia fifth, Cuffs sixth, Torpoint seventh, Devereux eighth, Mrs. Lyons ninth, Baltinglass tenth, Paso Robles eleventh, and Corduff last. Time, 4min. 13sec. PERFORMANCES OF THE WINNER. Glacis is a chestnut colt, four years old, by Carbine-GIMalt. and was bred by his owner, Lord Derby. He only ran twice as a two-year- old- third to Galvani in the International Plate at Kempton, and second to Polar Star in the Gimcrack Stakes at York. Last year Glacit; contested ton races, but it was not until tlie Newcastle autumn meeting, after he had run on seven oceasions, that he succeeded in striking a winning vein. Then he won the Stewards' Apprentice Plate of 100 sovs., and followed this up by a second in the Liverpool Autumn Cup and a second success in the Dovcridge Maiden Plate at Derby. This Ð('.).on Glac:s was un- placed in the Liverpool Spring Cup, but he easily won the Queen's Prize at Kempton. He was left in the Great Metropolitan Stakes, and ran Galvani to a head in the Chester Vase on the opening day of the meeting on the Roodoo. WINNERS OF THE CHESTER CUP.
