Need For More Thrills,

"No, these excitements are now too, too--I don't know how to describe it-stereotyped, I think. The changes are not sufficiently unexpected to be profoundly stimu lating. We feel the urgent, need of something which really stirs the blood in a way that the prospects of small gains can never hope to do. We want something that will give us those sudden and violent contrasts-wealth one day and poverty the next, poverty one day, wealth the next-you know the sort of thing, something more jazzy than we have. We have been too sort of humdrum dull and stupidly patient in the mistaken belief that the well-ordered life with its routine and rhythm is the one most conducive, to happiness. Of course that's all rubbish, and fortunately we are beginning to realise it. You will hardly believe it, but a few years ago they had only one big race-meeting a year and a little one at the tail end, just a sort of social event, for the ladies to have an excuse for narading a new dress and new. hat. Ponies ran in races, of course but unless vour fair companions were frightfully dull you were hardly aware of it.

**What I say is that every town and community has the things 'it deserves; we have now the dest race outfit in the Far East; why? -simply because we deserve it. We are worthy of it, and of course we are more than proud of it. We are gradually leading the Chinese away from their attachment to their own silly fan tan, which always seems to me to be ciated with the sordid, mean, stuffy rooms, cheap cigarettes, cheaper drinks, and even cheaper opium, to TERMS:-CASH ON DELIVERY. that gränd exhilarating, open-air sport by which more money can be lost and won with greater thrill and enjoyment than by any other means: Up with racing and down with fan tan, I say.
