The Master here made a lucky cast to the left and bounds quickly picked up the scent and ran a line to the top of the ridge where the 5.0.8.B.'s crest now stands.

To-day Messias, L. P. Ralph and 2. A. Brodie depart on the Empres of dia on Home leave. These two young gentleman riders will be very. much missed in local racing circles. more especially by those with whom they have come in close contact 18. the atmosphere of the Jockeys' Roord was the healthier and better for their presence. I hear that it is unlikely that either of them will return to the Colony but I trust that this is not true. Ralph's rise to local racing fame has been some- what meteoric as be did not com- mence riding seriously until the 1024 Extra Meetings. At the re- cent annual meeting he was ascond in the list of winning jockeys having got six firets four seconds, and six thirds. Brodie won the two classic Sub. races for Mrs. R I. Paterson in fine style and as a Jockey he stands high in the China list having graduated in the Shang- hai School. The racing public will, I feel sure, join with me in wishing these two riders a jolly good holf day.
Another rider leaving to-day for Home is Mr. T. C. T. Beck who ia better known "over the sticks" having taken part in several races
