HONGKONG RACES 1882-1883.
OPENING OF THE RACE COURSE FOR THE
SEASON.

to sigh for.
**The repurging bisan
Of those days, alait gone by!" we sincerely wish it were otherwise. It must be admitted that some few years ago the old style of turning out to celebrate the First of November was "more honoured in the breach than the obser- vance," excepting by ardent votaries of the sport, or sporting enthusiasts." But few ponies were locally owned, and even the few were seklom sent here until about Christmas time, so that training
during what we may not inaptly term our Autumn season was practically a dead letter. The advent of the contingent of Australian horses in 1876 and the introduction of the subscription griffins at the end of the following year popularised sport, and happily infused new, life into what suspiciously looked like a dying concern. The Australian racers quickly died out; but in spite of the auto- cratic opposition and bitter prejudices of the old school of Tory sportsmen-gentlemen leal and true no doubt, but rather behind the times-the subscription griffin movement, the most sports- man like feature we have yet found associated with racing in the Far East, became as permanent an institution in the race programme, as it had proved an undoubted success on the racecourse, and from that date commenced a new era in the turf history of Hongkong. Energy and public interest-took-the-places-of apathy. and indifference; local owners came to the front and bravely held their own against all comers'; the worst elements of professionalism were gra- dually eliminated; unhealthy speculation gave way to healthful sport; and racing of a much superior order to that ever previously witnessed at Wong-nci-chong-not even excepting the glorious days we hear so much twaddle about, when Hongkong meant either Jardines's or Dent's -becanic a prominent feature of the, Hongkong: race meetings. There is still plenty room for improvement in many important respects, but prospects of progress are more brilliant now than they have ever been. With such good sportsmen as the Hon. P. Rýrie, Mr. A Coxon, Mr. H. de Courcy Forbes, and Mr. H. J. H. Tripp at the helm, the important changes in our racing system, which we have been advocating for years, can now only be a question of a few months.
But to return to our subject. The race enclo- sure this morning presented the appearance of -a-rate day ratherthan the first officially recognised opening of the training track. There were more gentlemen present, and more race ponies than we have ever previously seen on any similar oc- casion. We counted over 40 persons, a majority of whom are not unknown in our little world of sport. Amongst many others we noticed Messrs. A. Coxon and Hoppius (Stewards), Mr. H. J. H. Tripp (Clerk of the Course), the Hon. E. R. Belilios, Major Hamilton;. Mr. Mc✪niodds, Mr. F. S. Gordan (who came from a sick bed to celebrate the event), Lieut. Porter, Metara. Reiners, Aubert, Hirst. Levy, Williamson, W. M. Morgan, Essex, MacGregor, Sayle, G. Coxon, and Woo- din. Arriving at the Grand Stand shortly after daylight-we were in fact the first arrival-we in- augurated proceedings by "sampling" Taylor's choice Boher, and then sauntered away to have a look at the griffins. At this stago we may con. veniently remind the C. C. that there is only one matshed yet erected, and that as this is alto- gether insufficient to accommodato-about 40 -pònica, it would be a great convenience to owners if Taylor were instructed to "hurry up" with the construction of the usual range of stabling.

galloped a quarter of a mile, and appeared to go somewhat "short." The two ancients, Dauntless and Heather Bell, were also in the enclosure. Mr. Reiners' griffin, a big up-standing pony, has proved a sad disappointment. Steered by the Shanghai jockey who crented such a sensation by bowling over the hot favorite Ventre de Biche with the outsider Pontiff, after being left at the post, in the Wong-nei-chong Stakes five years D ago, this griffin took nearly a quarter of an hour; hard' ridklen, to get round the track. If Mr. Au- bert is a believer in the truism that
Tud ring the nerves, and purifies the blood” he doubtless enjoyed his "breather" with the big grey griffin. Of Mr. Morgan's pair the bay is the better looking, but he is, if we mistake not slightly lame in front; the black is a fairly good mover. Mr. Tasman's brown is a really hand-

A goodly number of the ponics were exercised, but as most of them were confined to trotting, it would serve no useful end to go into elaborate details of the work done. The subscription grifins have clipped out rather a three-comered lot; but doubtless there are several good ponies in the mob, although at present we are rather at a loss to pick them out. Mr. Kerfoot's bay, to our way of thinking, looks as promi sing as anything we have yet seen, and he galloped about half a mile this moming in exceptional style, strongly reminding us of Sub Rosa in his resolute style of going. Me Ontodds had a gratified sniile on his expressive "phia" at the termination of the spin, and ap- peared to think that it was quite satisfactory. We coincided, but the grey in the same interest quite failed to please. The ponies belonging to the new aspirant for turf honors, Mr. S. B. Lewis, were on the course in charge of Tientsin, and the Derby griffins seemed to go freely and well. The two subscription ponies, however, are absolutely the worst we have yet seen, being quite unable to get out of their own way. There will be a large number tried and found wanting besides these long before the entries clase But in the name of Jupiter and all the other gods, what sort of a horseman was that who rode one of Mr. Lewis' ponics! For his own sake, for the sake of the pony, for the sake of his wife and children (if he has any), for the sake of Mr. Lewis, In the interests of sport and of everything and everybody, please Mr. we have not the pleasure of knowing your name do not make another exhibition of yourself as outside passenger on board what is supposed to bea China race pony.
