"The Field Looked Well." It is not quite right to say, that

slow running suited New Zea land, for probably he could have done better stifl in a fast race. The real Inets were that Wheatcroft, though looking well, did not run up to form. As for Morning Flight, he has one pronounced weakness, which is every now and again-to- Bulk, only recovering when it is too late,

The field all looked well in the parade, Wheatcroft perhaps best of all. Morning Flight and Mark Over were very smart, and New Zealand hurdly could be recognized as the listless animal who paraded on the last occasion. Even little Firefly, who is not built to catch the eye, was full of life.

New Zealand Race. There is little to say about the race itself. Taking advantage of the fact that it was run in slow time, Norman Dallas judiciously kept back, but just before the last bend he sent New Zealand up,

A Beauty Show. The Tsingtao Handicap brought out a field that made one think that even all the arguments of the last few years, acrimonious though sonic of them have been, were well worth while. Never on China race course can there have been a parade of moré handsome race ponies. though let be understood that this remark excepts that mangrel mule Islam, the ugly duckling of the crossbreds. The held was proof also that it is possible to get collared the rails and brought the very strong entry of crossbreds under the right conditions. As a race, too, it was worth seeing and there was a grand finish. The official time was 3min. 69.4-5secs., which is a record.
