With the issue of the K'rrect Card for the S.P.H.C. Handicap it may fairly be suid that we are reaching the last Ixp in the Hunting season of 1892/3, and though we shall yet have a few weeks in which to hope for good going and the absence, as the old Huntsman says, of "them stinking wilers," the foot of snow more or less which fell a week ago will sadly interfere with the average of the season, and although we have only the Handicap and the Consolation Hunt to come off to complete the official list of events, we shall be lucky, if what the Chinese say is ut ang value, if we are abie to"run these, for the Spring is to be upon us directly. Lot us hope that our Native friends will be wrong on this oceasion, and that by the finish of the chinese New Year we shall have added two or three more good runs to the list of the year's successes, with, perhaps, a chance of ove or two to follow. Such may be our luck should the season be a late one, and the disappointnent that we have been subjected to in not getting the Handicap off at the first time of asking will then be but as the crumpled rose leaf in our bed of prosperity.
As regards the past events of the season the following have been the Light and Heavy weight winners Lieut Wetours, Heavy Weicuts.
