Some third class tinker, who signs himself "Early Bird," has been writing to the Daily Press regarding the right of the Hongkong over the enclosure and racing tracks held by the nb is of that institution under lease from the tocal Government. I don't know which of the malicious misr prentations or the editor who of falsehoods to appear in his paper under a nom de plume is the more blameworthy; but that is a matter of very little consequence, as they and both apparently beneath contempt. Now, let us see what Early Bird," who may be the Man in the Ditch," the "Warned Off," or the Intest benchcomber, has to complain of He -coiminences by asserting that the Sewards of the Hongkong Jockey Club have entirely alienated acres of ground set apart, ever since the foundi. tion of this colony, for the use of the public he spells "public," by the way, with a capital P, so he, may sately be put down as a weeping far einer (crocodile tears always on tap), or a Briton whose carly schooling has been scandalously neglected="frans them, for the Club's own absolute er exclusive use. The grammatical construction of the foregoing extract from arly Bird's "lament, again forcibly suggests the intelligent foreigner." The assertion is 4 dherate falsehood, and the man who made it eq ally with the man who published its must have known it to be a falsehood. The Jockey Club's lense extends only to the stands, stand enclosure, race-course, and training track, and no claim or right over the réclamation in the centre of the Happy Valley has ever been made. "Early Bird says he is aware that a few years avon sorg of Jockey Club was formed here and that it obtained from the Government charge of the race-course, engaging to keep condition, so as to be enabled to provide Srst class sport if Early Bird" is aware of all this, I am quite (c) the community."'.
