ADVISABILITY OF ENCOURAGING THE SMALL OWNER

(By "Captain Foster")

This time next week I shall have something to say regarding the prospects of the ponies engaged in the different races which will come up for decision to- morrow week, the commencement of our Autumn rac- ing season, and, at the same time, I hope to have a little to say concerning the new subscription griffins for 1935. I gather that eighty "aubs" have been subscribed for but that, as a number of subscribers wish to be re- lieved of their obligations in this respect, the Stewards of the Hongkong Jockey Club have re-opened the Sub- scription List, which will now close at noon on the day of the draw.

The fields, nl- though on the small side, which is only to be expected at this time of the year, produced some good finistres, especially in the Mong Ha Handicap (First Sec- tion), when Captain Jack Jordan on Festival Evo just got up to snatch a short head victory over Mr. Norman Deitz on Vago.
