SECOND DAY,
The second day's races of the Hongkong Jockey Club were favoured with excellent weather. In the morning there were indica- tions that rain might be expected, but for- tunately it did not come, and the day was fine, overcast but with occasional blinks of sunshine. There was a very big attendance, including H.E. the Governor and party and H.E. Major- General Gascoigne and party. The band of the 10th Bombay Infantry p'ayed musical selections during the day.
There were in all ten events. Chisai, which had run second in the Derby on the previous day, captured the Flyaway Stakes, second honours falling to Schoolgirl. In the second event, the Exchange Plate, four ponies faced the starter, and the winner was found in Mr. Potts's Desert King with Algerine next. In the third event, the Professional Cup, there were only two contestants, viz., Bay Ronald and Mayfly.
