RACING SENSATION
FAVOURITE FAILS IN FRENCH GRAND NATIONAL
ONLY HORSE FROM ENGLAND

At Auteuil, Easter Hero, the crack hurdle race horse owned by Mr. J. H. Whitney, an American, was the only entrant from the English side of the Channel among twelve canners in the race Grand
Steeplechase de Paris, which is the French Grand National.
Easter Hero was heavily backed but failed to finish, thereby creating a great sensation. It was ascertained Rubsequently that the horse had strain- ed his back at the second water jump and that the jockey, Moloney, had pull- ed up to prevent further injury.
Le Touquet won the race by four lengths from the second runner.
The course is four miles. The first prize was 500,000 fernes-Router,

The Council will, however, probably be asked to explain many, general points of interest as recorded in the two big statements of accounts, and discussion may be helpful for future guidance.
No important changes are anticl- 'pated in the officials of the Associa

The fallure of Abs Mitchell, Char- Whitcombe, Archie Compston and the rest to win the British open cannot be traced to the fact that they must enter the clubhouse by the employees' entrance and eat by themaelves, segregated from the membere
occasions; and various members of the Council helped in minor matters. of general football interest.
This is, I believe, easily a record in Hong Kong football organisation, and as next season promises to be equally, if not
busier one, for the Boards,
the need for the services of representa- tives who can attend regularly is ob vious.
