WINSOME STAG WINS

Of double significance because it wound up the 1928 season of flat racing and was St. Andrew's Cup day, the Hong Kong Jockey Club's 8th extra meeting of the season held on Saturday was highly successful.

The Chieftain of St. Andrew's saw his colours (reglstered joint- ly with the Hon. Mr. A., C. Hynes) carried to success by a rank out- sider who paid nearly 20 to 1. Had the element of hard lines not intervened as it will in the luck of the turf-Messrs. Mackie and Hynes might very well have lifted

The going was fairly hard and on the fast side. Fields were either big or very small but some of the best racing was seen when there were only two or three runners.

Favourites generally had a poor day. Perpetual Motion, who won for the Chieftain, returned $99.50 in a field of 13-the biggest of the day, But U Un II capped this by "paying" 3214.50 in a field of nine.
