HONG KONG RACES.
CHAMPION SPEEDERS COMPETING TO-DAY.
"KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE LIGHTWEIGHTS.”
LIKELY WINNERS.
[BY EARLY BIRD.]
Grest interest is being shown by racegoors in today's fixture of the Hong Kong Jockey Club owing to the fact that the final contest for the Aggregate Oup is down for decision. In the absence of Black- stone Hall and San Diego the race should provide a ding dong battle between Boring Eve and One Third Although Boring Eve was in the Colony when the last race for the stakes was contested One Third was allowed to compete without serious opposition which was fortunate for bim at the time, as he put up a
best bet of the meeting Warring- on should keep alongside of him for a furlong or two when he will probably tale off and have a hand in the finish with Sunning and Paling Stag to settle as to which will fill third place.

CANDIDATES CHANCES CONSIDERED.
"Shankivan Stakes. This event should supply a really good curtain raiser as some of the entrants are well-known ponies what have already won a name for the cobsistency." San Francisco will be certain to carry a lot of money as he is considered a cinch over this distance and although he will be up against a couple of speed merchants I am certain he will prove a safe bat. The next in order merit is The Duke of Verana; who has been responsible for many good things both at the last big meeting and at the "extras" I do not think, however, that he is as good as ha was in the early part of the year, as, like many others, who were rested after the Annual Meeting, he has not quite returned to form. Erstwhile, who although he is only a sub his abown some pace, over short distances, will, I am inclined to think, be kept for another engagement later.

The number of runs lost in local cricket through not turning quickly on the chance of another through some mistake in the field is far too great. Too often one sees a batsman on an easy single trot right past the wicket, instead of just grounding his bat inside the crease and turning at once to see what's doing-a bad fault this, but yet one that it ought to be easy enough to eradi- cate.
