Already one hears many men saying that he Servics Club in a senior Leagris äxtare,. main interest at the New Year Meeting and the visitors won by Eu runs. will centre around the sub-griffins and visitors hatted first and knocked up 119, to which the home aile, meeting with it is to he hoped that to some extent this disaster from the first, could only reply will be the case. The Kiangwan sub- with 50. Mr. E. W. Hamilton only! griffins always have been better than bowled 4.4 overs but took four/C.CG those at Shanghai and this time they are said to be of antill bigher grade, whilst a greater proportion have sur- rived the training and come up to racing form. If that is so it will be a great benefit, for it will demonstrate that it is worth while paying rather more for sub-griffins, whilst still keeping them to a reasonable figure, and so encourag ing the small man.

It is not too much to say that a con- siderable extension of the sub-grifin classes in nl probability will solve many of the intricate and annoying problems.

was not a scheme originating in China, was a genius and it is a great pity that until recently the class has not been taken very seriously. Racing men with a few dollars to spare regarded na in- vestment in a sub-grifin as a gamble. A nob of ponies, purchased in a cheap market, were brought down in shocking condition and on a date which left in- sufficient time in which to condition them and see what really could be made of them. Obviously, therefore, the strong. est pony was the most likely to be suc cessful, eren though he might prove to be the slowest of the mob were time allowed in which properly to condition all of them. So every nominator for chance besought his patron saint to draw for him either that animal in betoon- dition at the moment, or the one who could acquire the most strength in three months. When the races were run i variably it happened that about half-a- SOLE AGENTS. dozen sub-grins out of 150 shared the entire proceeds of eight races, a division not to be expected amongst a similar number of properly conditioned animals, a larger proprtion of wherr nlmost cer tainly would be placed.

When the Autumn Meetings were over, the poor sub-griffins went in a mournful procession to the auction yard and were knecked down for trifling prices. Sor, had the good fortune to pass into. tue bands either of discriminating or ten- derhearted men and under the combined effects of a god rest, good feed, and then judicious training. developed into useful hunters, thus show that it is possible to make something of the most unpro- mising material.

Now, we have got to the stage when better, sub-griffins are being bought and encouragement offered to their

more

opers to train and race them. Despite the cynice insistence that the autumn sub-griffins were no better than before, the undoubtedly were in general much improved and they showed, it in racing. The majority have been retained in rac ing stables, whilst in view of the fact that there are to be valuable sub-griffin races in the spring, some were not raced at all in the autumn, but are being kept OVCT. To inforce the autuma mob came the spring sub-griffins, of a still better class, and undoubtedly there now is much more interest in the hitherto despised sub-grifin, because there are the. them, concerned animals are in better shape and there race. Should the are inducements to spring sub-griffin races come up to hopes, both at Kinngwan and the extra meet ings at Shanghai as well as the big meet- ing, there should be little difficulty in further extending the scheme. At least the small owner whose sub-grifin carns his keep and some of his purchase price will be very enthusiastic.

There is a powerful lesson for penny- pinching merchants who pay their work- ers so little that sometimes the latter are driven to steal, in Norma Talmadge's

the Law, gripping photodrama, "Within which is the current cinema sensation at the Queen's Theatre this week. As Mary Turner, a struggling department store employee, Norma Talmadge has such a hoss and his close-fisted methods result in a theft for which she is blamed Sent to prison, though she is innocent, Mary swears vengeance against her former em ployer, and it is this oath that carries her throughong of the most dramatio romances ever screened. In the denoue- ment the identity of the true culprit be comes known and Mary gains satisfaction in a most unique fashion.
