The subscription griffins of this season, on the whole, are not so good as those imported last year, and I am of opinion that whenever the new and old subs meet, those of 1929 or 1929 will I can sce carry the day in spite of penalties and allowances. no animal among this year's performers to equal ponies like The Pheasant, King's 'Falloch, The Ape,. of last season, or Q-Moon, Dumfries, and other good subs of the 1929 season.
The best ponies of this season lavo shown us very little during training performances, there having been hardly a convincing gallop to date.
Some of the most prominent ponies have had to lay up during the training, as in the case of Peashop, Grenadier and Martini Cocktail. All of them, I understand, will be able to start, but, there is little chance of these animals giving of their best at the Annual Meeting.
with this, but Grundier has shown promise from the day his training got commenced, and when ho
crocked there was much disap- pointment among his connections. It Grenadier does not win anything at the big meeting, he will be the outstanding sub of the "Extra" acason.

BARROW BEATS YOSHIDA.
In a spectacular match yesterday at the Hong Kong Cricket Club, M. K. Lo beat Cassumbhoy by three sets to oue in the first round of the Open Singles Championship of the Colony. It attracted a great deal of attention and turned out to be very interesting, Long rallies be- came the principal feature, and as Division 1. teams all play on both took little risks, the exchanges home grounds in the English Cup were mostly fought out from the matches.

The next struggle took place in the fourth set, which saw Cassum- bhoy playing determinedly at the beginning to win. He succeeded in gaining a commanding lead of 3-1 by nggressive tennis, but at this stage when Lo seemed to be tiring, he began to adopt steady tactics which took the sting out of his strokes. Lo was thus enabled to recover, and varying his shots again had control, quickly reduced his areas to 4-3 Caasumbhoy fell off after this, and Lo had little difficulty in winning the next three games, to win the match.
