Then, again, the famous yacht-races between Defender and Valkyrie had ...

I am aware that the gentlemen have more than once come off successfully against the professionals, hut I do not accept that fact as a refutation of my argument. For, you see, a weaker side has won matches times without number, and will continue to, with the ...

... SOME BUYERS AT THE JULY SALES. SIR WILLIAM JAMES INGRAM, BART. SIR WILLIAM INGRAM has been more or less connected with the Turf for some years, but if he has never yet possessed a racehorse of any note he has lately made several extensive pur chases in high-bred stock, so it is possible that we may see the olive-green and white diamonds and rose-pink cap more often to the fore in the future ...
