GOOD SPORT PROMISED.
[RY EARLY BIRD.]
In spite of the fact that the best of our ponies have been sent to Shanghai for the summer rest sea- '9.36 | son, there is every indication that racegoers will have plenty to oc cupy their time at the two-day meeting which has been arranged by the Committee of the Hong Kong Jockey Club to take place at Happy Valley on Saturday after- noon, the first race commencing at 9. pr. sharp.
There should be some very excit. ing races amongst the "A" Class contenders who have been well pro- 10.00 vided for inasmuch as four races out of nine bave been allotted to 10.04 the big fellows on the first day and three races for the second day. 10.08 The subscription griffins have two events each day for winners and 10.19 non-winners, while the "B," "C" and Beef Steak classes will give 10:18 the "no so good", an opportunity

CRICKET NOTES.
The defeat of Craigengower on Saturday last has bracketed them last with the Civil Service "in the Senior Division. The order ia working out rather curiously. The Civil Service with their full side out are probably as good as any side except the Hong Kong Club and possibly Kowloon. It is only the utter luck of batting after the first three wickets have gone that has rained them this season. And "tho reason is not very far to seek. The Civil Service team has altered very little since 1921. Season after sea- son the last seven men would often go over a month”without a knock. | And they gradually got out of the way of expecting to bat, and 10 started a sort of inferiority com- plex!
However I imagine there is very Ettle chance of the HR.C.C.II. desiring to come up to the Senior division, so probably it will not be necessary for Craigongower and 10.S. to play off. I should hate to guera which side would win if they played now.
The other league match last Saturday was between the Police and B.A.S.C., and the Soldiers won, but the Scoring was not very prolific on either side,
".
Ia the friendly, K.K.C.C. Navy, the latter found it tremen dously hard to get runs, but man- aged to stick in. Baker kept up his end for an hour and a quarter for 19. His declaration at 123 for ive was sporting. The Club had little difficulty in getting the guns. Batgor played very nice cricket and Duckite hit very well on the leg side:
Hong Game,

I was rather surprised that Way.. fong got home by such big mar. gin against Taikoo who had Gilling. ham, Moor, Vallack and J. R. Hinton
available. However they failed to cope with Parker who is howling very well just now, and collapsed. Green made one of his rare appearances, with his usual success and Scott got 50 odd. If it wasn't that be spends most of his time playing Bugger, the latter' might be a useful cricketer!
MacKay got a century against the IR.C. zad. I don't think I have ever seen the wicket there. pitched so close to the pavilion side of the ground.
The Titania lost to a Civil Ber- vice "A" team by & runs. They got 571
I see that the Club and Gunners are playing off their final League games to-morrow-the Club should win unless the Easter Holidays deplete their side too much 1 You never quite know what may happen and it would not entirely surprise me if the Club were not caught napping. But I would not bet os

Cars built
for
SOME
hard work!
OME cars lead a "dog's life." From morning till night -work, work, work-day in and day out. No petting, no pamper.g, just work. And like dogs, they are expected to render the same faithful service.
We had this fact in mind when we built your car. It would have to run on roads that were not, to cross every kind of country, to climb anything but trees; in all, weathers, to take a good deal of rough with precious little smooth. We built the bigger, high-powered Morris-Cowley-a glutton for work with its wonderful power unit, its 56 in. wheel track, high clearance and splendid workmanship. All round the world, this fine car can be used and relied upon. MORRIS AFTER-SALES SERVICE IS WORLD-FAMED AND PRICES OF SPARE PARTS ARE FIXED BY THE FACTORY
