The speaker gave a highly in- teresting description of the work entailed» on race night to bring orses to racing pitch, which included jog- ging and sprinting over a pre- scribed distance with two or

under blankets. Hours of prepa- ration are necessary to bring the horses to racing trim each time they perform.

Mr. Acorn paid tribute to the
