Hongkong, 1st August. SIR-Surely" Tyro," the author if the letter which appeared in your issue of to-day, in his propcrals does not go far enough towards making the chances of everyone more even. I should strongly advocate that instead of the water griftus being allowed to arrive some six weeks before they have to race, should bely be allowed to arrive some xix days before that date, and so se to prevent the experts gatulag sny undue advantage in that short interval, and with the view of further equalising the chances of all, that the draw should not take place until the evening before the first day of the rose. If this is done. and no one who has ever won a race is permitted to ride, I think everyone would have such on “equa} olence, ti at it would certainly effectually alimolate, or stifle, racing in Hongkong for The second heat, in which the Argonant zony years to come.

SIR,—I have been so strongly impressed by the sporting spirit shown by your correspond ent who so aptly styles bimself Tyro," that I must shke you to allow me to make another suggestion of the same kind. As I understand that the policy advointed by • Tyro" for the effective gusaling of the few meu among us who have come lule knowledge of the art of training horses, has the support of the Stewards and a large following of the more sporting members, wind it et simplify mattere if instead of going to the trouble -and expense of rending all the way to Australiu for bersegs to seen with wo merely made a list of subscribers and allottedchs imaginary horse by mallot? Then the names of these imaginary horses could be ebakou up in a hat, by less say the Clerk of the Course, and drawn by a Committee of Stewards, the last three names diswu being the placed horses. By adopting this means of racing there would be no necessity for either horses, jockeys, trainers, or seen a racecourse it would be more economical, and gentlemen of the "Tyro" stomp who don't know a China pony irem a Jersey cow would have precisely the same chance of winning the Hongkong Derby us, say, Jehu Ferler, were le competitor,

this would be conducive to good sort. Trusting that in the interests of sport you will be able to find room for the publication of this letter,
