Racegoers Turned Away At Yesterday's Meet
The Public Enclosure of the Hongkong Jockey Club is now being limited to 9,000 persons for each race meeting. This was confirmed this morning by the treasurers of the Jockey Club. It has been found that wher more people are admitted to the enclosure it becomes over- crowded to such an extent that this limitation was found necessary,
Thus if you are a keen follower of the local turf
and are not a member of the Hongkong Jockey Club, you will have to make your way to Happy Valley earlier than usual to make cer- tain of getting in.
This came to light when the "Hope Full sign was put -up at the Jockey Club early yesterday afternoon,
and quite a number of people were turned away.
If crowds continue to turn up at the Jockey Club Public Enclosure in such large numbers in future, the "House Full" sign will have to be put up regularly.
Extension Planned
The obvious step now is for the Public Enclosure to be
extended further.
of the Jockey The Secretary Club, Mr A. E.- Arnold, told the China Mail this morning that plans for the extension were definitely under consideration.
However, he could not give any definite details of the.
plans for re-construction, but said, "It will have to go upwards."
He added, "It is too early to say yet, but it will not be
ready before 1960, because it is quite a big job.” Meanwhile, when the 9,000 mark has been reached in the Public Enclosure, more racing enthusiasts will have to be turned away.
