FEARS OF wet weather spoiling the Tenth Ex- tra Race Meeting on Saturday were dispelled, and, despite the intermittent drizzle, the attendance was most encouraging. The track was fairly soft on ac- count of the rain which fell on Friday evening and the racing on the whole was quite enjoyable with a couple of close finishes.
Mr. L. B. Chao was the most successful jockey with two wins and two seconds in five starts, while honours among the owners were shared by Lee Bros. and T. K. Li, with a win and a second each.
