From the prolatory note it seems that the idea of producing such a valuable round as is now made available to the public originated at one of those delightful func. tions when, once in every year, the | stowards of the Hongkong Jockey Club meet found the festive board. Conversa- tion had turned on bys-gone days, when thoroughbred horses imported from Eng- land, competed for the blus. riland. of the Hongkong Turf in the Happy Valley, "Some one," the author observes, remarked that it was a pity no readily. accessible record existed of the achieve- ments of a glorious past, whereupon: I offered to write a short account of racing
Hongkong anterior to the time when races were contined to Chinese ponies.
The notes, which have taken much langur Hin collecting than I anticipated, are the Earnest of my promise. They aro, I fear, lacking in detail and meagre in incident But the old records of the Jockey Club were not well kept, and the accounts of the races published at the time do not supply
the 'information in which the records are deficient. I have thus, found it very
difficult to determine in many instances of what breed the ponies and bones werċ that ran, or who their owners were, I have endeavoured; to ascertain some. thing of the pedigrees and form on the English turf of the English horses that ran in Hongkong, bat without muchi success, sod F must place thesa notes before the public in what. I fear is a somewhat bald and uninteresting form." In spite of them remarks of the authics, however, the records are written "up in a decidedly happy style.
