COLRESPONDENCE.

We do not necessarity endorse the opinions expressed by Correspondents in this column]

HONGKONG JOCKEY CLUB, D,

To the Editor of the "Hongkong Trligrafi,"

SIR,-As a convenient means of enabling

me to communicate to the members of the

Hongkong Jockey Club the contents of a letter I addressed to the Stewards of the Club on Monday last, the 16th instant, I beg to send you enclosed n copy of such letter, which I would. ask you to kindly publish in the columns of your next issue,

My excuse for troubling you is, that I think the subject of my letter of sufficient interest to members of the Hongkong Jockey Club and others who take an interest in racing matters; to wartant my publishing it.

I may add that up to the time of writing this my letter remains wholly unacknowledged

Thanking you in anticipation,

I beg to remain, Sir,

Yours faithfully, GODFREY C. C. MASTER. Hongkong, December 21st, 190%

Hongkong, Desember 16th. To the Stewards of the Hongkang Jockey

Club...

siderable expense, are entitled to be able to enter their ponics in more than one, taco por diam and not to have to always meet the pick of the Shanghai subscription griffins, which I believe originally numbered from zo to 80, 4: of which were entered and whose height ranges up to 16 hands,

Again as to the conditions of weight for such races, you propose an pilowance of only 3 Ds. per inch, Why so? You are aware of the weight for inch scale in force in India and the Malay-Peninsula, viz 3 s. for each quarter of an inch, and you are also aware of the unanim- ous decision arrived at by the owners of this year's subscription panies (to which I presuma you attach some weight), viz, that to bring waler ponies of different heights together, the scale should be 2b for each quarter of an inch and not 3 per inch. That decision as regards the weight far inches to bring` waler ponies of. different heights together must, I submit, surely. apply with equal force to all waler ponies, whether imported this year, or last year, or any year, until it has been found to be an incorrect scale, and that another should be adopted when it will, I submit, be a question to be discussed by you, with the owners of ponies.

If you, Gentlemen, many of whom were pre- sent at the meeting of subscribers at which the decision I have alluded to was arrived at Intended that the z per quarter inch scale should not apply to last year's ponies, why could you not then have so informed the meeting and dispelled the general impression that the alb per quarter inch scale was intended to be applied, and would be applied to next race meeting generally, instead of making no mention of the matter, until now?

I have enquired of several of the members who were present at such meeting of sub- scribers, and one and all say that they most certainly understood that the scale according to the decision then arrived at would be ap- plied throughout next meeting to all,.waler pony races.

Surely it must be apparent to you that a penalty of only 3 lbs. per inch must giro an undue advantage to animals ranging from 14.3 10. perhaps 15t over ponies of 14.2 and under. So far as the scale itself goes it is unknown outside Hongkong. Under such a scale a horse of 151 hands would allow a pony of 14 hands 12 lbs. only, say the 14 hand pony carried 107 the 15 hands liorses would carry 13.5, quite insufficient, 1 submit, to bring them together, assuming both were fairs specimens of their class.

I ask you before you adhere to the pro- gramme you have drawn up to give the owners disscusing the question. In order to meet the of ponies an opportunity of meeting you and

question for the next meeting. I venture to make the following suggestion

That of the 7 races to be reserved on each of the two first days of the meeting for waler ponies, five be reserved exclusively for Hong- kong Waler Ponies of this season. !

Of the remaining two, one to be reserved for Honalons Water puntes of ibis and last season at the 2 per quarter inch scale, ponies of this. season reciying an allowance of say 5Ds, winners at the meeting to carry a penalty.

That the other face should be open to Hong- kong and Shanghai sbscription ponies of any season, ponies of this season receiving an allowance of say 5B; and it you are deteriniaed to try an experiment in the weight for inch scale at 3 per inch, you can so in this

race.

·Owners of Hongkong subscription panies of select one or other of such two races in which last season can, if my suggestions are adopted,

to run their ponies, or run them in both; while. avners of Shanghai Griffins can have no cause to grumble, since in Shanghai the weight for inch scale was 4 lb per inch also such a programme could not be reasonably objected to by any owner of a subscription pony of this season as if my recollection serves me right, nothing was said as to ó races pár diem being reserved ex- clusively for such subscription ponies.
