After her one and only defeat in the Cham- pions Stakes for China ponios run last year, Mr. L. Dunbar rotired his great pony, Liberty Bay, rather than see it suffer another beating by Mr. Eric Mollor's Silkylight, but the latter ended his racing caroor (died from colic) after his last and successful outing in the Pcking Plate over a dis- tance jaunt of 14 miles at the Spring moéting.
As a result, the 1839 Derby winner, year his mighty aspirant, Desert Rose Elect, owned by Mr. Eu Tong-Chief, finished behind the winner, sen, had an easy gallop in the Cham-Silkylight, by three lengths.

The "Sub" Griffins
Although Marksman went under twice out of seven starts, he was no doubt the best subscription griffin among the China ponies of this season and be collected a total sum of $6,650 for the owners including the Governor's Cup and a leg in the Professional Cup. The pony dead-heated with Celtic Star for the first position in the Sports Club Cup, but Mr. Tang Man-wa, one of the owners, had no luck with the spin of the coin.
I was glad, however, that Marks-i man had not been overraced and kin best achievement was in the Sub- Grimins Spring Handicap over the champion course when he beat Rose Evelyn by a length and a half.
Celtle Star, who piled up $5,352 for the owner, was the second best and he was unplaced twice only.

It may not be known that 84 sub- griffing weighed out during the first half and 32 ponies finished among the "Also Rans." Mrs. J. H.
