The latest London betting will be cabled out very frequently between now and race-day, and interest in the race is so keen that everything pos- sible is done by enthusiasts in Hong Keng to keep in close touch with affairs connected with the Derby.

From a large entry, the horses which have drawn attention this year are comparatively few. The most outstanding entry is Mr. Jinks, owned by Major McCalmont. The animal proved to be one of the best two-year-olds and have done won- derfully well this season, his victories including the Two Thou sand Guineas. Mr. Jinks would undoubtedly have been the best bet for punters in Hong Kong but for bis defeat on May 35 in the New market Stakes, when he was beaten by the shortest of heads" by Lori Derby's Hunter's Moon. This reverse has had a steadying effect an those who are all for Mr. Jinks winning the Derby, and have caused them to look round for other likely animals.

A Doubtful Starter. Costaki Fasha, owned by the Aga Khan, also has a good record as a two-year-old, and was expected to go a long way in the Derby betting. He was amongst the favourites until Reuter cabled the news „áll over the world that owing to a re- currence of trouble which nearly caused the colt't death a year ago, the owner has definitely decided to scratch his horee from the Derby. The horse, however, has not been officially scratched.

that it would require about a mental condition. A further ground for inability to proceed was that Dr. Cannon required a certificate of prisoner's antecerlentz.

The accused was a Kwangri man, and owing to the present troubled conditions in that province there had been dificulty in getting the desired information.

His Lordship granted the ap lication, and adjourned the trial to next month's Sessions.

A Hong Kong Favourite. Another classic aspirant, is Gay Day, owned by Sir Victor Sassoon, This is a colt with nothing special to number in his list of achieve ments, but the general indication is that the animal will go on improving until the Derby is run: Sir Victor Sassoon owned Hot Night, which ran second in the Derby two years ago, and this may be one of the grounds why Gay Day is amongst the most favoured borses. Gay Day is much in demand in Hong Kong.

Mr. Horace Lo appeared for the two defendants, and informed his Worship that his clients were very sorry they had assaulted the watch man of the Kwang Tung. Mr. Lo told the Hagistrate his clients were willing to be bound over, and that. he understood the Police had no objection to that course.
