Brown Jack, the famous racehorse, owned by Sir Harold Wernhor, of Market Harborough, has run his last race.
He has been put in charge of Frankie Jones, Sir Harold's rough Despite the fact that she is rider, and trained for hunting. On China's most famous girl, Miss August 2 ho was on view at the Market Harborough horse show, Young Sau-king, the protty young Southern swimmer who and it is proposed that he shall also broke numerous records dur-be exhibited at other shows in the

Brown Jack, who is ten years Manila, is unspoiled by her successes. With clear, frank old, is the greatest long-distance eyes, shy of disposition and rucchoras in the history of the
turf. British with a natural smile, during a exclusive interview with a re- presentative of The Shanghai Times, she immediately dis- pelled any doubts that her dders may have on the emans cipation of Chinese women, and their modernisation.
Her modest, retiring disposition, however, does not hide a charming also be- personality which can
come forceful when the subject of sport in general and swimming in particular is mentioned.
WHAT CHINA NEEDS. "Only with intensified national

greatly facilities can China ever hope to compete with other nations in the MIAR Yeung sporting world," declared vigorously when discuss- ing the Manila aports. "The events at Manila proved conclusively in
overy field that China incked the expert knowledge of her competi-
torn.
"With more facilities provided throughout China by the Govern- ment to enable our athletes to train at a cast within their means, spurt would receive a tremendous national encouragement and within a few years we could hold our own with any nation," she continued.
"China's swimming team sent to the Manila Games consisted of members gathered at random from Canton, Hongkong and Shanghul, and even more widely separated cities and previous to the actual competition had little opportunity for team practice, except nt Manila, where they had

NATIONAL INVESTMENT. "By building up the national physique China will be improving the gonera! standard of the people's health, while at the same time the country's prestige abroad would be greatly increased by the victories of her athletes. Sub- sidized sport is no more than good national Investment," Mins Young concluded simply.
Mias Young Sau-king. or the "Beautiful Fish," as her thousands of admirers have nick-named her, was trained in the South, first using the breast-stroke. Later she began practising the back-crawl, of which she is undoubtedly a fine exponent, but now her specialty is the American crawl, in which she is to be seen at her best, aird in which she typifies her nick-
name.

The heavy storm shortly after 9 am on Sunday caused a delayed start to be made on the Hongkong Cycling Club's border run, and it was 10.15 before Mr. E. Munts (Vico-Captain) led the run by way of Shatin' and Taipo to Fanling and Sha-tau-kok. It had been arranged that Mr. C. Read should take charge of this run, but he failed to put in an appearance; even his absence, however, did not succeed in spoiling a most enjoyable run in which, after the initial storm, the Whether Clerk co-operated with absence of both rain or blistering sun.
In view of the distance and diment- ties of the scheduled run, a section of the Club, comprising a new member
