Surprise for Trainer This Morning.
MR. LI TSE FONG'S "GOLD MINE.”
Question For Jockey Club.
The first China pony was foaled this morning at 1.30 a.m., in the Jockey Club stables, the dam being Mr. Li Tse-fong's "Gold Mine.".
Old timers here state that this is the first case in-so-far as China Ponies are concern- ed. About 25 years ago Mr. Hall-Brutton had a mare which had a foal, but this was not a Chins Pony.
The curious part of the affair is that no one, not even the trainer, stable boys or owner suspected the mare was in this condition and she has been racing right along and put through her morning work. Even her disinclination to run to real form did not cause them to wonder. The event was therefore the cause of great consternation-this morn- ing at the Valley, and many of the local racing owners and riders visited the stables to have a 'look-see."!
This will undoubtedly give rise to the question as to whe- ther or not this colt will be allowed to race here in Hong' Kong as a Grifßn. The rules state that Griffins and sub Griffins must come from the usual source and that source In North China and Mongolia.

It was rumoured in 193 threatened last year-and now has come.
Women are to wear shorts at Wimbledon! Ever since the War they have been clamouring to do so, but have lacked, a leader courageous enough to defy the grim Pewers That Be. At Inst she has come forward in the form of Miss G. R. Tomblin, the well-known tournament player.
"Unless I am positively thrown out I intend to wear real, tailored men's shorts in all my tournaments this season, including Wimbledon."|
