In the race for the 100 yarda champion-Tur o' War (Catch. Weight).The East ship of the Colony, Mr. Q. P. Lammert Surrey Regiment beat H.M. Submarines (the winner) is credited with having by two straight pulls in 14.1-88ces, and
Saec. respectively. covered the distance in "even time. Ac- cording to two other watches (one in the hands of the referee and the other held by the H.K.D.P. representative) the time was 9.4-3 seconds.

In the half-mile Handicap, Ng Tak Wing beat the "pistol by some 10 yarda and eventually won somewhat bandily.
Lieutenant B. St. L. Nicholson, R.N., carried off the Hongkong Club Challenge Cup for the 40 yards, the time 34.95 seconds.
Luiz Soares won two out of the three bicycle events, and would probably have swept the board had he not been inter fered with hy a world tourist who-for some weird reason-was allowed to take part in the race, hampered by baggage Preapmably some one had paid this man's entry feel
