§ GENERAL DUNNEsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, By whose authority was a Queen's Plate removed this year from the Curragh to Limerick; are the Stewards of the Irish Turf Club vested with any powers to pro hibit the transfer of a Queen's Plate from the Curragh to any other locality in Ire land; and, with whom does it rest to authorize the changes of the Queen's Plates from one locality to another in Ireland?
THE EARL OF MAYOsaid, in reply, that the removal was made by the orders of the Master of the Horse, after several communications with the authorities at the Curragh, who were willing to accede to the arrangement. It rested with the Master of the Horse to make any changes which might he deemed necessary in connection with the running for the Queen's Plates.
