SPORTING GOSSIP.
Affairs at the race course this morning were of a more interesting character than has previously been the case this season. The attendance was a fairly large one, the mild character of the weather. no doubt seducing manylukewarm "sports" from their downy pillows. Being a pretty early bird 1 seklom lost much of what is going on, and truly enough it one really wishes to keep pace with the times-1 mean of course as far as racing matters are concerned-it is absolutely necessary to be afoot long before daybreak. Although be bind a smart litle tit that can get over his 14 miles an hour without difficully I had a hard struggle to get away from McOniodds and his 'ricksba, which couple I passed at the Naval Hospital about 5.45, Thinking probably that there might be a tell tale pow intended "Mac" stuck to me like a leech, and we arrived at Taylor's den close together just as day was breaking. Arabi Bey and a dark grey with a white face, the property of Mr. Lewis, were the only two ponies on the course. The grey cantered over half a mile appearing to get well over the ground; but Arabi only troited. am grieved beyond description to have to relate, in connection with Arabi Bey, atale which will surely shock the weak 'nerves of the "snufficbusters;" but duty must be done. When the bonny bay re turned to the enclosure a certain sporting celebrity --after recent experiences with Thomas Ide Wick- ing, 1 mean Harry Bandmánt, no, no-1 mean Daniel Edward Bowler, it is not safe to men- tion nantes-suggested that it would be a capital joke to tell "1.C.U." that Arabi had galloped a mite in splendid form, so that the same might appear properly elaborated in this evening's Fish Wrapper. Under certain circumstances my poverty and not my pride might have con- sented to deceive the oracle of the Salvationists; but as the poverty did not happen to be urgent the pride was of course in the ascendant, and I played Uriah Heep in splendid style. Arabi Bey did not gallon this morning but he is still favorite for the Valley Stakes.
Mr. F. 5. Gordon appears to be the only owner who likes to see his ponies extended. Whilst all the other macers in embryo are circumnav. igating Wong-nci-chung at a jog trot the future bearers of the "primrose and blue jacket finish up their healthy exercise with a good rousing gallop. As the distance covered rarely exceeds three furlongs, the galloping is not overdone, and, to my way of thinking, the ponies certainly look all the better for having their heads loose' occa- sionally. I have always considered constant trotting exercise a huge mistake. The muscles called into play by the gallop cannot possibly be strengthened by slow trouting, nor., by any means but the actual pace at which races are run. It seems to me that raw griffins cannot be taught to gallop too soon-they all require more or less teaching, be it remembered-and it stands to reason that it must be safer to get them into good hard condition by gradual work, at first over short distances and at half speed, increasing both distance and pace as the signs of condition become more apparent, than by trolling them steadily for two or three months, and then gal. loping all the life out of them in the last few
The
system of training race-horses in England, modified slightly to suit the somewhat different class of animal, cannot be adhered to oo closely. It appears to be a very imperfectly Understood fact in China that a slow gallop, or fast canter-call it what you will-being a natural pace is much easier and far more con- genial to the racer than trotting, which is a purely artificial gait

Robbie Burns and Dragic lower galloped very steadily for about-three furlongs, the chestout moving like a piece of machinery; the black, al- though hardly so taking a gocr, also exhibiting improved form. Strathisla and Lord of the Isles went the same distance, and were followed by the two subscription griffins. Infatuation and another ancient-Dauntless-powed a quar- ter of a mile, the dun holding the spotted one safe all the way home. Malcriado was treated sharp burst down the straight, and went very. well indeed. Nothing cise worthy of special notice took place, if I except a sporting offer made by the owner of Methusalem to race that fiery animal against Hazel, an offer which Mr. Reiners declined to accept, not wishing at this early stage either to risk such a valuable animal, or to expose his truc form, Nettled by this refusal to accept a good thing when it was ten- dered, Maconiodds added insult to injury by offering 1,000 to 5 against Hazel for the Valley Stakes. This proposal was also declined.,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1882.
CORRESPONDENCE.
[We do not necessarily endorse the opintosu expressed by Correspondents in this column.)
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "JONGKONG TranGramu,” SIR-Like the rest of the world I woukl liké to get sore information on certain matters which have puzzled me somewhat, and should be glad if you could spare the time to write a leader on the subjects I now propose to briefly allude to,, and find space of China, and of the Far East for it in your enlightened journal the world generally may be considered wealthy and pre- sumedly intelligent communities, why cannot an Associated Telegraphic Press Agency be estab shed, instead of our having to rely for particu lars of current events in Europe on steamers leaving Colonial and American poris a month. after the occurrences take place? For instance the Telegraph of the 9th inst. contains the latest detailed telegrams received in the Far East, and these cane from Sydney by the steamer Bowen, the latest date being October 13th.
"
Why are the local journals of "Far Cathay so far behind the times? Have Chambers of Commerce and Press Associations become as defunct as the dodo, for all practical purposes?
Surely there was sufficient to affect commercial interests in this part of the world in the recent Egyptian trouble to more than justify the adoption of some sensible measure to enable the imme. diate publication in China of all current events of general importance.
Yours truly,
A SUNFLOWER. Canton, November 14th, 1880. [We wish we could see our way to carrying out the exceedingly sensible suggestion cinbodied in our, correspondent's remarks. Reuter's have become a solemn farce; in fact telegrams they are of no carthly utility or interest to anybody. The local press could not of course afford to provide lengthy daily telegrams like the newspapers of the great American and Australian cities, but with the aid of the Go- | vernment and the Chamber of Commerce per- haps something might be done, We may return to the subject at another tine.--Ed.

that the game is of English origin; on the other GARDEN, STABLE, AND COACH HOUSE. hand the Nouveau Dictionnaire would seem to prove that the game was really invented by the French. However, the origin of billiards is so remote, although the honor of inventing the pastime most certainly lies between England. and France, that it is hardly likely that the moot question will ever be decided to the satis- faction of the upholders of the different authorities. on the game. There can be no doubt in the minds of all reasonable people that the introduction of the game of billiards has proved a great boon to society, expecially to the upper classes who can afford to have tables in their own houses, for a more interesting or amusing game, when taken in all its branches, it is impossible to imagine,. to say nothing of its being the healthiest indoor game with, which we are acquainted. We can. not affirm that the game of billiards, as a strictly scientific game, is equal to chess, but, having more than a slight knowledge of both, we un- besitatingly give the palm to the "board of green cloth." Chess is a slow, and, to a great extent, selfish game, interesting only, unless under exceptional circumstances, to the players actually engaged, whilst billiards can be enjoyed by the onlookers almost as much as by the players.

We picked up a few items of general gossip at the coffee table. MacOniodds has named his green and yellow grifin Nebuchadnezzar. (Chia Mail please copy.) The "new aspirant for turf honors is reported to have landed five thousand dollars at the recent Shanghai Racce, and in further said to have invested the shekels of which he despoiled the Egyptians in eleven fresh griffins. This looks promising for the field. And yet one enterprising amateur Derby bookmaker boldly offers 1000 to 100 on the field-bar Filbert.
