Grand Duke and Wisdom Stag are the other animals belonging to Chinese stables which have more than a fighting chance for this year's Derby. The former is cot sidered good enough by many, but his critics seem to think that while the animal may be built for speed, it is certainly not built for stamina, and in the Derby both speed and stamina are required. Wisdom Stag, however, is impressive and I have not heard any criticism of him yet. His stable companions. Witty Stag and Windsor Stag, are consistent performers, but their brilliance-for the time being at least,—is dimmed by Wisdom tag.

I would add" to what Sir Henry has said' that I firmly believe the fortunes of the Colony now to be insepar ably bound up with the success of the University. If this University for lack of funds should be crippled or killed, the loss of prestige to the Colony would be immense and. a very severe blow would be dealt to British interests, not only in Hong Kong, but in China as well.
