The Hongkong race course and training track have never, in modern times, been in nearly such good condition as during the present sea" son. The care and practical attention bestowed on the course throughout the past summer have already borne good fruit. Notwithstanding the small quantity of rain that has fallen during the Autumn, and the tendency the course has to become hard and unyielding, I have not heard a single complaint as to the state of the track this season, a very different tale from the expe- riences of previous years. And for all this we are indebted to Mr. Tripp's interest in a proper performance of his multifarious and onerous duties, From a close examination of the condition of the racing track, 1 feel certain that, with favorable weather, faster times will be recorded at our next. meeting than have ever previously been chronicled, I also feel certain that we shall have few cases of lameness directly attributable to the state of the course. The other arrangements made by the C. C. are equally an improvement an olden times; and even although the steeplechases should, as appears probable, prove a fasco, the true sportsmen of the colony will still have reason
