The knowledge alone that absconding debtors coo'd be reached and the consequent bet ter prospect of seizing assets in what ear now considered Inaccessible places, would be in itself a deterrent from any fraudulent Intentions. The present time seemed, as far as China was concerned, a most opportune one, now that law and order were being estab. before.

TURE TOPICS.

In view of the fact that the races will in all probability be held a fortnight eariler than was at first anticipated trainers thought It advisable this morning to give most of their charges a bit

of a "pow"

There was a good attendance on the course among whom I noticed Sir Paul Chater, Messrs. J. A. Jupp, H. White, T. F. Hough and the usual jocks.

The morning was a bit chilly, thick mists enveloped the track and the course was very heavy. It was lucky, however, that the rain that was threatening held up until after the gallops were over.

This was the first gallop, most of the sub. scriptions griffin have had since their arrival, and considering the state of the course, they were taken slowly.

Among the subs were some very nice movers, notably Mr. White's sina!} iron-grey with the "Roman nose:" Mr. T. H. Rose's nutmeg grey; Mr. Holles', which latter pony shows a tremendous amount of quality; Mr. Macdonald's two, including the Sportsinan," also moved in good style for three-quarters of a'ffle.

Mr. Kadourie has a very taking iron-grey sub, which was also sent three-quarters of a mile, which he accomplished in. min. 55sec., last quarter 35sec. ・・

Black Cherry also went the same distance, fibishing very strongly in the diet. He is very lazy pony in training, especially when gallopink by himself, but when sent out with others is quite keen:
