The subscription griffins were landed on Sun- day, October the 4th, and in the first Issue of the Echo, after that date, in the Sporting Notes, I and it tated that the ponies had been timed to do the Maldena' distance in 1.35 to 1.38. "Up the time of writing aid the "Man in Boots," "so many of the ponies are being well taken care of, and well fed up, that when their trainers commence riding, lamencis and the slows will be the inevitable result." The "Man In Boots" was quite right in ble conclusions. I am not a professional trainer, bạt I must say, from my observations and experience, it is the greatest istake to feed up China pooles before they have earned it by work. Keep them low, and let the work be slow at the beginning of training or they will assuredly go wrong. As their systems become accustomed to regular and hard work Set the feeding be gradually increased, but don't begin at the wrong end, and stuff a poorly fed animal from its foaling, until he is in a good healthy state for work. He will eat all you give him fast enough, just as an tx healthy man will "eat a great deal more than

■ benithy one, but you will see in the pony concsponding results, a heavy aye, a distended frame, and, withal a disinclination to work Bot I am not lecturing on training; the purpose have in hand is to endeavour to show in this particular case that our subscription griffins might have given more general satisfaction had the circumstances of their tralulng been different That it was not successful is amply proved by the number

of break downs and the running of those, started for the race; Reindeer always excepted, whose jockey came in hands down, looking behind him with the certainty

that he had the race in hand, and who might have made får better time had the field challenged him. The circumstances I allade to, over and above the feeding-up already made mention of were, first, the over haste displayed at the begin ning to get the animals into galloping order, which in my opinion was an error in judgment considering there were two months to train in i second, the hard state of the course. As regards this second Cause, of misadven ture, remedies were applied, but they were. Employen' chairman = "Your new rule, great deal of galloping had been done with most disauto114 results. It was after all this galloping namely on the 28th November, that Ridee Boy" declared in the Sporting Notes that the griffins were a groggy lot when shipped from Shanghai I do not hold with Ridee Boy.", I thought them a good sound lot when they were landed here, ned, with one exception, none of them betrayed signs of weakness for a long time after Ponies required legs of iron -to-be-galloped on a

A hard me Our was on many of the mornings in November; no wonder so many gave way under it. And, thirdly, it seemed to me that some of the penics might have ran better had they had more galloping in the train- ing, but I have nothing to say to this beyond stating that in my opinion it was so, for the owners may have preferred to run the racket of wending their ponies to the post short-trained rather than endanger their soundness by gallop- Ang them on "* bard' courae, and who can

uch blame them? On the other hand, however, they may have considered their animals fit when they were really not so. One way and another, fo my view, the griffins of this year did not have A fair chance of coming out as they might hava done. The disadvantages of their training were too much for then, otherwise we should bare had a very diff. rerit race for the Malden Stakes, and very different time made. Patsing to the old ponies and the iste importations of those that had run in Shanghai, what capital sport they showed us. The meeting of such ponies a White Heather, Autocrat, Black Leaf, Reaper, Sandown, Yarana, Ku- lang, Woodman and Yams, they happened to meet in the different events, was a treat, without speaking of that fins old racer Wild Wood and the plucky Titmouse. The times of the Hongkong Cab and Foochow Stakes were excellent. My allotted space will not allow of „my writing more cha this object at present.

SUPERSTITION OF THE FOOCHOW BOMT PEOPLE.

As a neighbor to France in the Mediterranean lies Italy, with a main sea frontier 2,200 miles long, and adding the coast lines of the islands of Sardinia, Sicily, Elba, and some others, grand Italian littoral of 4, too miles is the result. The natural defonses of the mainland long the water front are not good, the land being for the most part low, sandy, and cxt into by numerous bags, but the islands are generally high and rocky Along the western shores of the peninsula Italy has ten strongly fortified ports, the principal of which are Genoa, the key to the command of the Ligurian Sea, and Sperria, the seat of the national shipbuilding yards and araensis; in some of the works thereabouts there are mounted several ico-ton guns and two 120-ton Krupps, the largest cannon in the world. To the south bath in Italy and Sicily, are thoroughly, well ded, and the eastern coast line is defended by six moderately powerful fortresses. The whole coast line of the mainland is kept in com munication with sea and shore by a complete system of signal and semaphore stations, and the scheme of defense is rounded off by twenty-nine. torpedo deputs established in the principal harbors.

pendent forts, fifteen of which are armored and of most modern construction. On the Black Sea strong fortresses of iba second order are situated at Nikolaiff and Odessa, where the naval yards are, and Sebastopol stands frowning down, as in the days of the Crimen, ready to be armed when needful. On the Pacific Ocean Russia's Hae is 53,000 miles long, which has only three fourth- order fortresses ; that at Vladivostock is the most important.

Romila postesses a good fleet in her European waters, there being no less than seventeen coast-defenders, with protective belts varying from four and one-balf inches in some to sixteen inches in others, carrying turrets four and one-half inches to fourteen inches in thickness, mounting eight and twelve inch guns,

COAST DEFENCE ABROAD. HOW THE GREAT POWERS OF THE WORLD'

QUARD THEIR SHORES.

The Triple Alliance, which for the past fifteen or eighteen years has to a great extent governed the size and strength of the armaments and lets of Europe, looks to be in a fair way to dissolu- tion; at the same time France seems to be eager to again meet her old enemy, Germany. It is perhaps, , well to review the present war status of these foreign nations is regards the protection of their sea frontiers, for in any future struggle coast defense will play a most if not the most Important part. The coast defence of ether Ballons should also be interesting to us of the United States.

The most recent authority on the subject of const defence is Major Clark of the English Engineers, who, in his book on fortification

The functions which coast defences are capable of performing are of three kinds : 1, to -prevent the use of a harbor by an enemy for the purpose either of shelter or of fanding troops. 2 to bar a harbor or channel of approach and | exclude an enemy from the inner waters; 3, to prevent the bombardment of a dockyard town or LIIGDEL" And Colonel Abbott, United States Engineers, writes to the following effect: "Fortifications must close all important harbors against an enemy and secure them to our own marios; must deprive an enemy of all strong positions, where, protected by naval superiority, he might fir permanent quarters and maintain himself and keep the frontier in perpetual alarms | cover the great cities from attack; prevent laterlog, waterways, being blockaded at thele
