"We have succeeded on obtaining an option on what I consider to be the most suitable site in Singapore for a dog-racing track. It consists of fifteen acres on Kampong Bahru Road, about three-quarters of a milo. from the Southern Hotel. The whole scheme will be carried out on really first-class lines, and every thing will be done to study the comfort of the public. The enter prise will be run purely on the lines of # private sporting club, similar to the Turf Clib in Singapore. That is to my, only members of the Club will be allow ed to use the totalisator. We shall have our own veterinary surgeon, not only to see that the dogs are fit for racing hut to look after them
at all times,
Australian Dogs More Suitable Than British,
The Club would obviously not race the dogs themselves, but at first it may be difficult for local sportsmen to obtain greyhounds, and we have therefore made tenta- tive anrarguments to purchase two hundred. We do not anticipate any difficulty in getting the dogs in Australia. People are now breed ing them down there, and there is no shortage. It is considered that dogs bred in Australia are much more likely to stand the Singapore climate successfully than those im ported from England, and 1 know of no reason why racing grey- hounds should not thrive in this elimate.
Tentative arrangements have been made to obtain; the apparatus for the electric hare and an electric totalizator.
The foundation stone was laid taken nearly three years in con struction, at a cost of about £1,300,000. Every modern mechani cal device is embodied in it, and it is to be finished in the most sumptuous style.
