we might just as well put all we have on the Cire stable. "This well | known racing family have nye re- presentatives in. Beautylight. Glossylight, Lovelylight, Rosylight and Velvetlight. They all look like racers and the stable should have many successes amongst the China pony griffins. In my opinion, the two best are Velvetlight and Lovelylight and I think these two will be their Hongkong Derby re presentatives. The opposition and quite a strong one at that will come from Oolong and possibly Eve of Grandeur.

Others in this class that show promise are Iron Beauty, Paloer, Charlesber and Work Fair View. I am told that Sand Trap is a first class animal and this chest aut stallion looks all they claim of him, but unfortunately, this pony did not arrive until quite re- cently and it is problematical whe- ther the connexions will be able to get him into first class condition by next Saturday.
