Wong Sui Ngau Stable Loses Star Jockey.
"A FEW MORE HETMANS AND SADKOS NEEDED"

MR. "Daffy" Davis, the popular
local jockey, has been trans- ferred to Shanghai and will sail to- morrow by the President Jackson.
A prominent rider in Shang-j hai. Mr. Davis rode only during The second half of this season. recording his first win on Festi val Evo to pay $110.30 and $42.50 dividends. He later Won on Burgomaster and Treumseh, the latter paying $51.40 for a win.
The popular Wong Słu Ngao stable will thus be los- ing their star rider. and I understand that Burgomasier has yet to be fixed up with a jockey for the Subs. Cham- pions on Saturday week.
Talking to Mr. Davis Home works age the jockey told me that a few more Hetmans and Sadkos would considerably im prove Colony racing.
