We must not lose sight of the fact, however, that Fei Ying is undoubtedly the best among the ponies entered, and despite its heavy burden may yet win, especially as Mr. Ip is one of the most improved riders among the novice jockeys.
Mr. C. L. Gregory has only to win one more race to graduate from the novice class, and to-morrow will be riding Astrik, which is a distinct dan- ger on account of its low weight of 140 lbs.
Good Morning will again be ridden by Mr. S. L. Yuen, but, as Mr. Chanson has returned to Shanghai, I don't know who has been asked to ride Racing Boy.

SPURS (-) Astrik is essentially a sprinter and whether Fei Ying can concede 28 lbs. to this pony is a question which is hard to answer.
Split Hand has been making gradual improvement, and if ridden by a strong jockey it may create a surprise. On the other hand, National Dignity ran a good race to come in second to Dekko at the last Meeting, and as it will be ridden by Mr. Yeung Wing-kwai it will have to be considered.
Then there is Cape Comorin, with Mr. H. A. de B. Botelho up, and a win here is not altogether out of the ques- tion. My choice is Fei Ying to win, with the other two positions to be fill ed by either National Dignity, Astrik, Cape Comorin or Split Hand.

This event will be contested by "B" Class China ponies, and an interesting race should ensue. Mr. H. C. Pih has the choice on either Havoc Eve, Honey- moon Eve or Humdrum Eve, and as he won a race at the last meeting on Honeymoon Eve I expect that this will be his mount.
