I see from the results published in the papers that this match re- sulted in a win for England,
In the singles, it must have been A good game in which Miss Molly Gourlay beat Miss Glenna Collett by ap Miss Enid Wilson was wrother Englishwoman to win her nitch, and Miss Helen Hicks, in suite of her long hitting, was beaten by Miss McCulloch.
In the foursomes. Miss Gourlay was partnered by Miss Wilson and they won their match, whilst Miss Hicks got some of her own back partnered by Mrs. Mida.
I shouldn't be surprised to see 31ss Wilson win the championship "this year.

CHAMPIONS DAY IN SHANGHAI,
BUSY BEE ACCOUNTS FOR WHEATCROFT:
ALLIGATOR GETS THIRD PLACE.
LAST MINUTE SUSPENSION OF
VICTOR HAIMOVITCH.
The Shanghai Champions which was run in glorious weather yesterday went to Mr. Eve's Busy Bee who accounted for the much favoured Wheatcroft. Alliagator was third.
i The winner won the Champions in Shanghai in the autumn of 1929, was unplaced in the spring meeting last year but in the autumn meeting ran second to Wheatcroft,
On Monday he again rau second to Wheatcroft in a slow race over a mile and a quarter. He was then, ridden by Mr Haimo vitch. On Tuesday he lowered the Shanghai record for the mile and half and those who knew felt that Busy Bee would have an excellent chance in yesterday's big event. He won in the record time of minutes 32 2/5 seconds. Mr. Bowling had the mount as Mr. Haimovitéh, according to a Reuter's message was suspended at the last minute. It is alleged that Mr. Haimovitch asked Dr. Edgar who held the sweep ticket on Busy Bee to sell him a tenth interest. Dr. Edgar is said to have reported the matter to the Stewards "which led to the suspension.
The winning numbers in both the "A" and "B" sweeps on the Shanghai Champions are giver. below. The winning ticket of. the Powhattan Club Sweep was sold in Hong Kong.
THE RESULTS.
Thanks to the courtesy of the Hong Kong Club we are able to publish the full results of yesterday's racing in Shanghai. It can be seen from the results that Mr. Haimovitch was then he had two winning mounts and a second place. The results were as follows:

Sandy's Pulpit.
Playing during the week-end, nothed that the programme of im- provements to the old course has been started by the addition of a couple of grass bunkers guarding the green at Sandy's Pulpit.
The bunker on the right is a real anasterpiece in conception. and lay- out and will force anyone going out to the right to play a really good shot to reach the green.
The one on the left just misses it, sit still leaves a run up for shots from a good way out to the left. Had it been placed about four nearer the centre line it Jards would have trapped a lot more of the indifferent shots.
I believe if these additions prove a snecess-and their. success will be judged by the amount of blasphe mous language which they evoke, for registering which, a recording beeg secreted microphone has amongst the trees-they will prob- ably be converted to sand traps at a later date.
One thing is certain. They add immensely to the character and, therefore, to the interest of the hole.
Whilst the green keepers are in this neighbourhood, what about anaking a tee for the 15th in the wood behind this green!
It would add a good bit to the length and would entail a couple of really good shots to reach the green in two.

The Extension.
Work on the new nine Loles is progressing rapidly. With a per- Jectly clean slate to start with, there is a priceless opportunity to lay out the holes on really modern "goling lines.
Should there be, mongst the pro- posed holes, one of round about yards, preferably slightly up- siill, we cannot do better than to take the 18th on the old course as a model, although the green need ot be of necessity a plateau green. An indiferent drive leaves us faced with a difficult second, and there is to possibility of getting onto the Kreen-topping there with a balf topped brassie shot which runs and runs over the hard ground.
As far as the greens themselves are concerned, don't let us make them all dead flat. So long as they' are more or less level as a whole they are all the better for undula tions and ridges. For one thing,

"
The oldest racegoers Yow that they have never known such an epen Derby as that which will be run at Epaoin on June 1, and a remarkable situation has been in- | tensified by the fact that probably the two best three-year-olds in training, both quartered in Mr. Ired Darling's famous Beckhamp- tion establishment, cannot, run,
It was known that Lord Woolav- ington had, unfortunately, not en- tered his crack. Press Gang because of a former progeny of the dam having gone wrong in his wind and now the nomination of the unbea Len three-year-old Challenger is re- Lord grettably void owing to Dewar's death.
Altered Eule.,
The essential alteration made by the Jockey Club in the Rules of Racing has come too late to save the situation this year-just as it was in the case of the late Lord
Kosebery's Midlothian last year. Only the liability for nominations made after May 29, 1990, are auto- matically transferred to the per- senal representative of the deceas el nominator, in order that Buch entries shall no loner become void. When Mr. T. F. Dawkins, the official Jockey Club handicapper, had framed hig Free Handicap of two-year-olds at the end of last season, he put Diolite, Press Gang, and Challenger at the head of affairs.
Diolite is owned by Sir Hugo Hirst, who has never had so good a horse, and the present Derby favourite meets recently Press Gäng.

"Feeling like 10 men & a boy
* would not be
without Sanalogs under any circum stances www writes Max Pemberton, the Famous author
--especially the boy”
"Formerly I regarded a nerve-food on a par with zoloshes, flannel next the skin and dill-water." Thus a contributorwrote in Golfing, June, 1926. Feeling cheap and nasty after a motor-accident, he was persuaded as he protests-in a weak moment, to try Sanatozen.
"Since then," he writes, "I have felt relatively like ten men and a boy, especially the boy." Small wonder that he is enthusiastic and recommends Sanatogen. Sanatogen is a highly concentrated nerve-food, infusing into the very cells of blood and nerves those, elements- phosphorus and albumin-from which they derive strength and vigour.
.
That is why Sanatogen must do you good, why it will conquer fatigue, renew the blood and revivify the whole nervous system.
Decide to start a course of Sapatogen to-day. So many people are enthusiastic about Sanatogen; why should you not, at least, try it?

The True Tanic-Food Sanatogen, is obtainable at all Chemists and Stores.
