The pitches are marvels to wear. Why, at Melbourne in the last Test, I should think that a- other three days play would have beed possible on it. Slight rain does not damage them, a couple of rollings binding the top dressing together and making it almost breaking wickets on which to bowl, new wicket. They must be heart- for it is most difficult to make the ball tarn.
Australia has plenty of good young cricketers coming on, ad they ought to be able to send a useful side home in 1930, but I doubt if they will take the ashes back with them. Many of the teen are bound to be fresh to English conditions, and from what I saw I should imagine it will take them a little time to get used to our wickets, where the ball is generally

YESTERDAY'S KEEN RACING.
EXCELLENT WIND UP OF SEASON.
MR. HARRIMAN'S THREE WINNERS.
Excellent sport was witnessed at Happy Valley yesterday after- noon when the last meeting of the first half of the 1929-1989 season was brought to a successful conclusion.
Immediately after all the racegoers had left after the last race a large gang of coolies were hard at work demplishing the rest of the buildings, so as to further the new construction scheme. The Committee hope to have the structure in readiness for the resump- tion of racing which is expected to be in the early part of next October.
It is expected that quite a number of new cwners will be racing next year and provision has to be giada for better accommoda- tion all round.
There is not the slightest doubt that the Hong Kong Jockey Club will eventually have a racecourse that will compare with any thing out in the East.
