SOME SELECTIONS AND "' TIPS."
[BT
MORNING. DEW."]
-The Chinese New Year Mecting of the Fanling Hunt and Race Club comes off to-morrow and given fair weather there should be a good attendance and keen racing at Kwarti.
The usual train arrangements are available and there are six races on the card, including a handicap, In this event the weights have been carefully adjusted and to pick a winner would be extremely difficult,
The programme opens with a rare for non-winners at Kwanti, once round the course. Fanling Stag and Novemb ought to make a good race of it between them, as the former is a rare good jumper and while November is new to the
course he is a much better pony over the flat. Mr. Stanton might decide to send out Social Mark. in which case, he ought to get place money. Sunloch, also, is in this race, but I am afraid he will not be very prominent in view of the strength of the others. I think, on the whole, November will beat Fan- ling Stag with Social Mark filling the remaining vacancy.

Chinese New Year Cup. This is the race of the day. The best ponies are entered and as the distance is a mile and a half, Montana, Target, Christmas Frolic and As You Like It ought to make a good race of it. If Montana does his work honestly, he will wip, though Mr. Hearu's griffin, Christ mins Frolic, on his last public ap- pearance, ught to do very well, and with a bit of fuck, account for Montana. Target is perhaps geing to be ridden by Mr. Reidy, who is A very good steeplechase jockey, and if started, might upset calculations, while As You Like It is much tnure than a good outside chance.-
Mid-winter Handicap.
The fourth race, assuming Target and Christmas Frolic are taking part in the main event, ought to provide some keen racing. Six Hundred, Samaritan, Fernleaf and one or two others stand equally on paper and much will depend on whether the ponies are fit or other wise, and on the jockeys. If Lt. Cdr. Bulteel rides Sumaritan, the pony ought to win.
February Maidens. The last race of the day is for. non-winners at Kwanti. Hunting- ten, November, Buster, Social Mark and Samaritan are all eligible and from this bunch it is difficult to

Fox Hunters' Cup:
Leith. Celtic In addition to the ordinary St. Bernards
Montrose ateeplechase races there are twe eross country races, one for Heavy Alier deen" weights and one for Lightweights. Dundee Craigavad who won this event last Ayr U year ought to do it again. He will Falkirk have worthy rivals in Siang River Rangers and James Pigg, but the first-nained will probably monopolise the bel ting.
In the Lightweights, Mowgli is entered and on the score of con dition alone he should command a big following. Lightning and Cavfaire are other good animals. If, of course, uny of the other ponies which I have tipped for the steeplechase events are starting. Lightning and Covaire's chances of getting places will be reduced, but I think on the whole, these events will not attract the better 'chusers.

THE NEW GOLD UNIT.
RELATION TO HAIKWAN TAELS.
The following explanation, of the new scheme of duty collection on the basis of a gold unit has been made by the Customs, saya the N.C. Daily News, and shows the increase in durs in two periods, from February 1 to March 15, and from March 15 onwards.
Period From February 1 to March 15, 1930 inclusive: Goods which formerly paid Hk. Tls. 1 at a spe cific rate will now pay Gold Units 1.50. One gold unit is equal to U.S. money 0.40,
At present exchange one Shang- hai tàel – 50 cents, U. S. money therefore one fapproximately). Shanghai Tael 60/40 - 1.25 gold Reunit
"B," Sookunpoo ground. Re- feree: Gr. Bateman.
There will be one senior league game only to-day owing to acveral teams having men selected to go to Shanghai.
The crowd will be at Caroline
For example: if the present ape- · cific duty rate is Hk. Tls. 3 per picul then gold units 4.50 are to be collected. If paid in Shanghai taels the amount due will be 4.50/1.95, or Sh. Tls. 3.600. Before, a duty rate of Hk. Tis. 3 was equivalent to Sh. Tis. 3.342, and thus with the present scheme, with the ex-
Hill today to watch the replay change as above, the increase is between Eastern and Southern Chinese,
The game between St. Joseph's and R.A. will arouse little interest owing to the in and out form shown by these teams in their recent games.
A great game is expected on the Railway ground between the Royal Navy and S. L.I. second teams in the junior ahield replay. The game is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. Extra time will be played, if acces sary. The Royal Navy expect to
win.
The games in the junior division should end in favour of the K.O.S.B. Reserves, Chinese Athletic "A." South China "A" and Kow- loon F.C. Reserves.
KOWLOON FOOTBALL
CLUB.
TO-DAY'S GAME.
The following players have been selected to represent Kowloon Second Elevén the R.A. at the Home ground to-day (Saturday), kick off at 2.45 p.m. sharp-Angus (Junior); Gurah and Hast; Moore, Springett. and Dunnett; Hannan, Seddon, Moss, Contes, and Nicholls. Reserves: Hawke and White.'
equivalent to Sh. Tls 3.80-Sb. Tis. 3.342.258 which is equival- ent to 7-72/'100 per cent.
3,600
3.349
= 1.0779
Period from March 16 onwards: Goods which formerly paid Hk. Ils. 1 at a specific rate will then pay geld units 1.75: thus the rate in gold units is to be obtained by multiplying the present Hk. Tls. specific rate by 1.75..
In doing so for the example quoted above, an article now pay- ing Hk. Tls: 3 will be paying (3 x 1.75) 5.95 gold units.
Taking the present exchange, ie, Sh. Tls = gold units 1.23, rua
in above, the amount Shangbai tarls required to cover the duty owing would be:"5.25/1.25, or Sh. Tis. 4.200.
TH, 1
Taking the same exchange (Sh. U. B. money .50) it will be seen that whereas formerly the amount of duty owing was Sh. Tis 3.34 it will be Sh. Tls. 4,200, meaning an increase of over 25 per
cent.

The above has been worked out at the approximate gold dollar ex- change which exists to-day.
If there is a rise in the price of silver the percentage will decrease the ex- correspondingly, and if change returns to Sh. Tls. 1 equal- ling approximately U.S.A gold- $0.69 the percentage will be wiped

In other words this scheme will. produce the amount of gold expect. ed from the new tariff with the ex-
