Canton, To-day. Despite the statement of the Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr. Hirota. in the Japanese Diet, that the National Government had accepted his three-point programme, Dr. C. T.

that no such acceptance had been made.

FAVOURITES FARE BADLY AT THE VALLEY
(By "Rapier"}
In direct contrast to last Saturday, favour- ites fared poorly at the Valley this morning, only Jone
Bistre (Mr. Liang) winning in the five races before tima. Though there were several useful dividends, Mr. Ulster's Shamrock, ridden by Mr. Paul Botelho, established a 1936 record by paying $161.50 for his third place in The Tower Stakes.
The best win of the morning, however, was that of Mr. Hem's Gladiator (Mr. Frod) over King's Warden (Mr. Marshall) in. The Victoria Stakes. It is most unusual for the champion jockey's mout to pay a $7130 dividend, but that was what resulted. He was, however, fucky inasmuch as King's Warden bored out badly twice over the last furlong when he appeared as if he must win...
The Derby is likely to prove a walk-over for Mr. Harbrad's Royal Scot (Mr. Harriman) according to the general consensirs of opinion at the Valley, though I am inclined to think that. Bear Claw will not be far away, while Honeymoon Eye and King's Lead are two other yery formidable challengers.
