Upsets Give Zest.
The decision to revert to the original starting time, 2 o'clock, proved to be a wise one, and the racing was much more enjoyable, in the writer's opinion, at least, than on the last occasion. Start- ing, too, was much better, and there was far less delay, between the races..
Altogether a most entertaining afternoon's sport, with sufficient upsets to give an added zest to the proceedings.

STRUGGLE EXPECTED.
Tennis enthusiasts experienced an idie afternoon on Saturday, the inclement weather causing the postponement of all the League fixtures down for decision.
A most important game in the "B" Division-the clash between the Indian R.C. and the Chinese R.C-will be decided on Wednes-
