When asked by a "China Mail" representative if it was with trepidation that he landed in what had the reputation of being a Colony of Scotsmen, Sir Harry brought his famous smile into play and shook his head. "Is it really a Colony of Scotch people,' he innocently asked, adding with a proud look at his own very 'Scot- tish garb."they mun cover up their kilties weel for never a one huv' I set eyes on.".
The sight of women working the huge sampan.oars had parti- cularly impressed Sir Harry. It: was the first thing that had struck him when the ship had come into port and he said to the "China Mall men "we've some braw women in Scotland. but they wudna like tae tak' on that sort o' thing."
"
Never a word as to meanness would have pasked the tactful re-i porter's lips, but Sir Harry led up to it himself. "Were you greatly disappointed when I couldne put in an appearance yesterday ?" he asked, and upon receiving a reply in the affirmative "Well, ye couldna hae bin any mair than I was masel, I canna bear to see Eguid siller going."
I'm sorry I canna gie ye ony impression of China see early, but I've met a number of Chinese since I've been on tour and I can say of them that they had a real sense of justice, and a guid sense o humour, even o' music, "tae," was another of Sir Harry's re- marks which was redeemed from the commonplace, by the whimsi- cat manner in which it was said "Funerals an' weddings, perhaps hardly, bear that out, judging frue those I saw in Singapore, but mebbe their feelings run away wi them a bit."
All eyes were centred on Mr. John Peel's Local Option, which has already been freely tipped as the winner of the Derby. the Blue Ribband of the local turf and the third event on Tuesday. Before

Nothing startling was forth- coming in the performances of the "old ponies," whose merits are better known. Of the subscrip- cription griffins which went out, Mowgli, owned by Mr. Sha, drew most attention by galloping six furlongs, under the guidance of Mr. Vida, in 1.35 mins. This was on the outside course, and the last quarter was stated to be 31.4/5 seconds. Mowgli is a skewbald pony. His nominations include the Valley Stakes (alx furlongs), the fourth event on Monday's card.
