TURF NOTES FROM FOREIGN LANDS The Saint Leger de France, once a "classic," has fallen from its high estate. At Caen on August 13 the race attracted only four runners and was won in a canter by the Marquis do Trlquervilles Helios ! II. .T. Cooke, from Baron E. de Rothschilds Montmorency II. MacGce and M. A. Foulds Comb C. Cliilds. Kempton Park England presents a strange spectacle at present. The grass on each side of the sprint course has recently been burnt, and acres of turf were left a black, charred mass. Fortunately the fire stopped short of the mils, so that the actual track was left untouched, and the long strip of green forms a striking contrast to the remainder of the turf.
