The subscription griffins are not so good as last year's contingent; and I would advise backers to always have a bit on the old ponies for preference when they are included in the Subscription Griffin races for past and present winners.

KWANGTUNG KUOMINTANG'S

LOYALTY.

Canton, Feb. 21. Following General Yen Hsi- shan's long telegrams to Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, urging him to resign, the Kwangtung Provincial Party of the Kuomintang has sent the following wire to the President at Nanking:

The Hynes and Mackie stable is not so well supplied as last year and although it will win a certain number of races 1 fancy the owners will have to wait until ponies which have won will be handicapped with penalties for winning.

The Jardine stable is not very promising and unless the old ponies score in their events I do not see how they will break even on the meeting.

On account of the large number of ponies it is a little difficult to and out where they are all going. so I shall have to

WOMAN COMMITS

SUICIDE.

JUMPS. OVERBOARD FROM FERRY.

While the ferry Man Keung was on her way from Hongkong to Shamshuipo last night, a Chinese woman, who was travelling third- class, was seen to throw herself overboard.

The incident happened off the A.P.C. installation at Taikoktsui. Upon an alarm being given, the ferry was stopped and a search made, in conjunction with No. 5 Police Launch which happened to be in the vicinity.

No trace was found of the woman, and it is believed that she was drowned.

A radio message was received by the Water Police in Hongkong at 2 o'clock this morning from N.Y.K. steamship Tango Marú, which reported that she had picked up an S.0.S. from the Alabama Maru, stating that she was aground at Lat. 35.44 and Long. 140.52 E., which is south of Yokohama.
