MR. JOHN JOHNSTONE'S MOUNTS,
There has been much lamenting Jately about the deterioration in the class of racing pony in recent years, and not without causo says the N. C. Daily News. So it was that at the China New Year Mhet- ing at Kiangwan, when racing men saw the superb Glenfield, the pic- ture of what a racing pony should be, and then were treated to the experience of the terrific rush of Danesfield, his stable companion, it was the general remark that the Spring Champions, was all over, for nothing could possibly touch either of them. Opinion must have changed somewhat since then, in the light of happenings at Kiang- wan this last week-end. Quite likely Glenfield or Danesfield will win, but it seems certain that the record will have to be cut very considerably.
