(By “Rapier")
ACING fans will be treated to a first-class Australian pony race in the Corroboree Handicap at the Valley to-morrow, as it pro- mises to be one that will be remembered for some time to come.
The cream of the Australian class is start- ing in this five-furlongs sprint. The starters
are:-
“ABLE AMAZON (MR. FROST), 165 LBS. BAG TOR (MR. PROULX). 146 LBS. DERBY DAY (MR."BUTLER). 152 LBS." GOLDSMITH (MR-DEITZ), 135 LBS.
MOUNT PILATUS (ME RALPH), 140 LBS. ROSE-AN (MR. PIH), 149 LES.
It is with regret that I have to report the fact that Shoot- ing Star is lame, and will not face the starter. This is most unfortunate, as the Kong Bros" entry is the record-holder over the five furlongs distance, and would have been a definite have had the menace to Able Amazon. Mr. Black was to The Hong Kong Volunteer De-1 mount on Shooting Star." fence Corps beat the Royal En- gineers by 35 points in the Final

The Engineers were unfortunate in that Sgt. Finney, one of their most consistent players, should
have been off form to lose by 92 points. This made all the dif- ference to the result.
A Close Shave
In the games between Lieut. Sequeira, H.KVDC and Cpl. Howells. the latter had scored 47 points to Sequeira's 1 and it look- ed like a comfortable win for the Sapper, but Sequeira only lost by 19 points!
