RANDOM REFLECTIONS.

There are surely very few places under the sun where a community so thoroughly gives itself over to the sport of Kings dogs the community of Hongkong.in the annual race week. Though this year the attendance was not so large as usual, the meeting was far from being a poor one A somewhat in any sense of the word. smaller

attendance and fewer stables were things to be expected as a result of the removal of the German community and the withdrawal of the bulk of the European naval and military forées fran The Colony. Though the Chinese crowd on the other side of the track-appeared to be as large as usual-on Derby Day especially a glance over the crowd in the ruelusure gave the impression that there were not so many Chinese; there as in ecent years. That impression was prob ably confirmed by the gate-money,

It was remarked to me that as the New Year settlement was not a bad one the reason for the smaller attendance of Chinese was not very obvious. Incident- ally itinay he said that the New Yoar settlement was not such a good one as it seemed, for though there were few failures was largely, I understand, a settlement by compromise. While the Chinese of the) "Colony were not too flush with money for speculating on the course, I do not sup pose the smaller. Chinese altendance was due to lack of patronage by the Hongkong Chinese the explanation is to be fouail rather in the fact that very few came down this gear from Canton, facao and the Detta countryside, owing to the curtail ment of travelling facilities by the steam- -boats ns a remult of part regulations while the war lasts. Compared with the usual Pusonger traffic of the steamboats in racs weck, 1 am told the traffic this year - showed quite a remarkable decline.

I suppose the eniculat Roughly aftendanco can be set down as about three fourth that of last year, though I think I am correct is saying that the cash wweeps did not show a corresponding redaction. However, as a result of the meeting the Jockey Club will doubtless be able to make a very substantiul don Fion to the Prince of Wales' Fund. ·
