Mr. Forbes' resolution, as above stated, was cafed by a large majority, and the Shanghai Derby' will henceforth be a weight for inches mce according to scale. This refon is such a sensible and practical one, that I have no doubt whatever that a similar proposal with regard to the Hongkong Derby will be brought forward at the next meeting of the subscribers to the Hongkong Race Fund and adopted unanim ously.

But for the thoroughly, conservative character of all our institutions such a glaring anomaly in the conditions of the most important rase at our annual meetings would scarcely have been permitted to exist so long.

There are several other improvements in the conditions of various races which might be effected with advantage to sport. It has always seemed to me that the handicap system has never received a fair trial in China-at least in

Were the merits of the handicap system gener- ally recognised and adopted, we should certainly never hear of two and even three thousand dol- lars being paid for a publicly tried race pony, whose actual value was less than a tenth of either of these sums.

The great advantages of handicaps to racing men of the class usually met with in the Far East are apparent. Owners, who face princip: ally for the love of sport, would have the same prospects of winning a race with his modest third rate fifty dollars purchase as the leviathan speculator with his two thousand dollars top sawyer.
