The grass track is in perfect condition and, with a few ex- ceptions, all the ponies have been tried out on this track. This year our Derby griffins are numerically less than before but, judging from the morning gallops, several of the newcomers possess that quality which serves to maintain the high standard of local racing.

Incidentally, Mr. Encarnação is here again and will be riding for Mr. En Tung Sen, and I feel sure that all racing enthusiasts will wish him the best of luck

This year the Chinese will be again strongly represented in the Derby. There is Rosemary, Mr. Ea Tong Sen's candidate,
