Of the three tickets taken on Lud-) law for the first race yesterday, which} paid so well, we hear that one was taken for a man in the Kowloon docks who wasn't present. He had had a bunch or a cream, and fancied the pony. The other was taken by a man who had a tip from a mafoo.! The third was not taken by the owner of Ludlow.

That $243.50 dividend taught him that Mr. Seth hasn't forgotten his jockey- craft.
To-day the main interest centres in the Derby, owing to sweeps and private bets. Piledriver ran so well under Mr. Johnstone's masterly hand- ling yesterday.that he has more fan: ciers for the Derby to-day than he had before, and has ousted Spoiled Child. He and Allied King at the moment of writing (begining of the first race) --seem to be about equal favourites,

We cannot agree with censorious comments on the Chinese aloofness, if that be the explanation.
