FIFTH EXTRA MEETING.
WINSOME STAG FANCIED FOR NOVICE RACE: GOOD PONIES RESERVED FOR THIS EVENT.
ZORHAN'S TASK IN HANDICAP EVENT.
["BY MORNING DEW."].'
After a respite of four weeks, the longest since the Annual Race Meeting, the Hong Kong Jockey Club will be holding in other"Extra" Meeting to-day.
Of the ten races on the card seven are handicap events, and these should provide all the thrills required. Royal Flush will "start favourite for the main event, and should have no difficulty in
accounting for it. The field may be very small here.
Zorhan has a big task before him in the opening race, con- ceding many pounds in weight to several very good animals. The Shanghai invader, however, is capable of great things and to-day should prove once again how really good he is.
"The Novice event is attracting some very classy animals, and
a fast rave should be seen. I have heard good accounts of scme of our novices and a few of them are really keen. The field ought to be fairly big in this race..
TIPS AND SELECTIONS FOR TO-DAY,
1.even more strongly against a novice, and he is not likely to give Winsome Stag much trouble. San Francisco, which accounted for a fairly good field in April, is the only other animal worth considering and is worth an odd ticket or two..
Customs Handicap "A" Class. Only elever. ponies have been placed in this class by the handi- capper, and of these probably three or four will take the field, Zorhan being a sure starter. He is bound ta be made favourite, in spite of

Monk has a golden opportunity weight and is conceding ton pounds to the nearest pony. Carnival Eve might be induced to go to the post here of scoring another win for his in view of his light weight, but his popular owners, and he looks as if connections would do better if the he will do it. There are a number of other good animals here, includ animal is kept for the mile and quarter race later in the afternoon.ing Done Again, but this pory will. Messrs. Mackie and Grayburn have as I have said, probably start in two useful animals in Pickle and an earlier ance. Peter Guerney and Picalilli, and being so many pounds Duke of Milan should get the other these places... weight for inches under might turn the tables on Zorhan, though the probability is remote. If Chesapeake Bay accepts here, he might get placed, but I hear be is. starting in the Novice event in which case, he is ruled out. The Duke of Chantilly is very fit at the moment and is worth a place bet, but Zorhan is the thing to follow in the winning.counter.
Customs Handicap "B" Class. If Orlando keeps up to the form which he exhibited at the previous meeting, he should walk away from the rest of the entries in this race. At 155 pounds this. pony looks a Blue Heaven is in fine cinch. trim at the moment, and ander the capable hands of Mr. da Roza might prove to be the surprise in this race. Imperial Hall, after his braye showing in April, is a very Fair Bafa bet lor place money, Sport and Four Clubs carry too much weight to be dangerous, and Marquis Hall has a better race to start in later in the afternoon. However, his owner decides to start him here, I would recommend him in preference to Imperial Hall for a place.

@ Class.
Lead Mine Handicap "A" Olass.
Carnival Exe has had his weight brought down to 158 pounds, and this race should look like a merry- go-round, with Carnival Eve leading all the way. Mr. Heard will have charge of Christmas Chimes, but if there is going to be any struggle between these two animals at all, it will only be in the straight. Pickle, if started, should just about get placed.
Customs Handicap "D" Class.
Happy Day is here with 181 pounds, and he should make his supporters quite happy, especially if Mr. Harriman gets the mount. I see Sonay Boy is also here, and it looks as if Mr. Harriman will have a choice of mounts. Whatever he elects should be backed. As You Like It and Greyback are some of the others to look out for.
Customs Handicap "E" Class. This is the firet. "E! Class race in Hong Kong, and there should a' fairly large field. Ching Hei ought to do pretty well here, as although he is running top-weight, he has Mr. Roza's assistance, and that is worth a good deal, Osiris will prob ably be Mr. Heard's mount.

Keen rivalry will be witnessed be- tween these two Clubs for premier Chinese Water Polo honours. It is to be regretted that the South China' A.A. have not entered a team in the League to complete a full Chinese

In the Junior League, three new. teams, namely, the 12th Battery R.A., Hong Kong University and the, Fukien Club have joined the League. Much is expected of these new teams who are reported to have some very fine players.
The Water Polo League promises to be an extremely interesting one this year.
