The improvement of form shown by King's Justice is simply mar vellous. The pony, by his per- formation on Saturday, has done the Chlua pony on the Hong Kong course. "As a griffin, King's Justice was not considered good enough to Carry his owner's colours in the Hong Kong Derby and the task of representing the stable was left to King's Service, who won the race, but who subsequently did nothing worthy of mention. All the gritas of that year, Spey, Bright Star, Gold Key, Fortune Bay and a nam- ber of others are beginning to be forgotten, but King's Justice on his present form promises to be very much in the limelight for some time to one. It will be interesting to wite that, Cyclamen Bay, one of the best sprinters of to-day was also a 1031. griffin of the same King's Justice belongs to a stable that possesses several other, very Rood A Class ponies in Hetman, King's Bounty and Treatbridge,

Mr. Chanson, by his win on Ban- jolina, has passed out of the novices Tanks and it looks very much as if in the next half of 1933, quite a number of other novices will be passed out as some of them have been waiting a long time to get the necessary wins. Among those who are likely to get through before the next annual meeting are Black, Carroll and Noronha. Meanwhile the number of novices are growing and it is encouraging to find so Anany keen novices trying their hand at the racing game. I sup- pase by this time next year, Keswick, Ingram, Ferguson, Choy, Remedios and Tang will be in, the same position that Carroll, Black & Co., are in to-day

From particulars of the V.I.C. night fate published yesterday in the D.P. it would seem that there is promise of some fine racing on Friday night. The VRC sports are always worth watching and the competitions are always of a high standard, as many of the best swim. mers in the Colony take part. In addition to, swimming events, they are very good exponents of water polo and the local diving champion Ed. da Roza, gives some very clever exhibitions during these fete.
