MR. A. J. P. HEARD RIDES FOUR WINNERS.
WINSOME STAG'S GREAT, GALLOP.
[BY EARLY BIRD.].
A most attractive card was provided at Happy Valley on Saturday when the first day of the Easter Meeting was decided and Although the attendance was not up to average the racing was in-" teresting throughout.
The John Peal" stable scored a useful double with Hunting- ton and Skinfaxi while Mr. B. D. F. Beith shared in the success of Christmas Chimes, who accounted for the principal race of the day, and Tangle who took the Commonwealth Handicap "C" Class,
Mr. A. J. P. Heard carried on the good work which has made his name a household word for a considerable number of years, and successfully showed our local riders why the Hong Kong owners endeavour to get the services of Shanghai jockeys wherever it is possible. -
The Handicappers, Messrs. C. M. S. Alvos and H. W. Moon, should be very pleased with themselves, after Saturday's show, as looking over the finishes I find the decisions were five faces won in- side the margin of one length, two inside two lengths and two inside three lengths.

Monterey Bay, who I tipped for the Commonwealth Handicap "A" Class,' succeeded in winning the event, and rewarded his sup- porters with a big dividend of $375.50,

Mr. Y M. Loo is to be congratulated on his purchase, în spite of the advice of quite a number of critics, who were sure his pony, was broken down and would never win a race. I wonder what his late owner thinks about it?
The going was a little on the bad side and quite a number of owners declared that they were inclined to think that the diap- pointing display of their contenders could be attributed to this

Mr. Heard won this event quite casily by the comfortable margia of three lengths.

As The Ape fell back at the foot of the incline I thought it was a thousand to one against his chance of winning but this game little animal well handled by Mr. Harri- man had another try and eventually' collected the money. The race was very slow at the beginning with the Jamaica pulling double till coming down from the rock when he went to the front and was in charge as they entered the straight. Na
The pacemaker, Flying Stag. which had fallen back, was being hard ridden by Soares and coming alongside. The Jamaica joined the issue with Lock Alah at the "mile past.
