THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH TUESDAY
to tay, seem to have the real sporting instinct Without powder or paints without varaline or enamel, they are themsolver. It is so soldam that a foreigner sees them that he is as a role embarrassed in their company, But not at the races. Most of them, in colloquial langungo, are too good to live.
Now, I think it is time that the races were allowed to bi on. If only the winner of the big sweep would give me half his winnings I might be happy. For a while,

A WANDERER'S. OBSERVATIONS, Observations on the weather would natural ly come to everyone's mind where the races ara concerned. I had the privilege of escort ing an American to the races this forenoop, oneofthose Americats who are willing to learn. And he learned a lot, He had been at the Eclipse and the Derby' and he rather frowned upon our own special meeting, but Cesar talks, the usual beni, vidi : ¦
As a matter of fact the weather was dull, at the start although it cleared up during the day. Did that prevent the people coming out in their thousands? I don't think.
When I'went down this morning in company with a callɔus gang who thought, they awoed the car, I fale nimest iespectable--in fact, and eay it again-1 was respectable. Long before"
law the place, Mr. Hough was there.
What i want to say tight away is this, "there" must be some marvellous organisation at the head of the Police. They were everyébere; they were polite, and they knew English--those ;of them who were not Sentamen,
