something of the kind might be done here advisable to contine the events to locally owned ponies, and Hongkong jockeys; however, if the idea should be favorably entertained, satisfactory arrangements could be come to afterwards.
Trusting that you will use your influence to promote the formation of a club to carry out the programme sketched in your article, I am,
