siderable number of the entries received for both runnings of the nice having come from the im ¬ portant breeding studs of France England Ireland ind other foreign countries yhere the breeders of the

the second running of this notable nice in 1920 follow closely the lines of the original provisions A change has been made in the method ind amounts of the preliminary payments in con ¬ nection with
