Mr. Dunbar again proved the leading owner of China ponies, while E. 3. K. and Kong Bro's succeeded in carrying off the honours in the Australian Class. Liberty Bay, the Dunbar stable favourite, was the outstanding pony of the year, being the only un- beaten one in a list of 248. - Night Star, though beaten by Woodland Stag in the recent Champions, was undoubtedly the leading Austra- lian pony, the Dunbar candidate'stime of 2.21.4 last Saturday not ap-

UPSET PROVIDED IN THE GRAND NATIONAL
፡፡
an
THE Fanling Hunt and Race Club enjoyed a very successful year from the point of view of the rider," but the returns were disaji- polating, and this year Meetings are not going to be conducted on the ́sume, elaborate scale effort to economise.
Duke of Milan, ridden by Mr. J. W. Hope, won the Grand Na- tional and Pierce Grove Memoria! Cup when Christmas Frolle (Mr. W. T. Stanton), the red hot favour- Ite, fell. In a field of three. Loch Ryan (Mr. J. A. L. Schreiber) was second over the 2 miles course. and Tom Cobley (Mr. A. F. Jen kins) carried off the Governor's Cap when he beat Lucky Bird (Mr. Stanton) by many lengths in the 2 miles cross-country race.
The ladies again attended the Meetings with refreshing ¿consistency, Miss Lois Feason, with four wins, heading a list of 20 riders.
Mr. J. A. L. Schreiber proved the leading rider, with ten wins, Mr. G. P. Ferguson being second with
seven.
The Club are holding their first Meeting since March 20 a week on Sunday when a card of five events. · in which there is no fiat race, will ho featured,
The biggest prize' won in a cash
2 sweep during season October 30 to 2 March 26 was $4,119.36 on the Grand National, but on Sunday week the officials hope for a first prize worth $90,000 on the St John's Cup, which is probably just a little too ambitious.
