With the Seventh Extra Meeting only a fortnight ahead, the panies training at Happy Valley are being gut. through their paces and some interesting gallops are seen from
time to time.
There will be much new blood to be seca when racing resumes. One of the most talked of animals that will figure at Happy Valley will be Pride of Tsingtau, a pony that has several records to its name. As to whether or not it will lower the colours of such tried performers as Zorban, President Hall, Spearimint and others, I will not at this early date try to forecast. For the pre- sent, it is sufficient to say that the pony enjoys the confidence of many of the fans. Added to this, the ho belongs to the Dynasty" stables now, makes his presence all the more interesting, as the pony will undoubtedly be well looked after.

Adam, one of the fastest ponies at the Annual Meeting is back again and will probably figure in ose of the extra meetings later in the season."
Practically half the ponies in training have much to pick up, but one or two are showing improved form.
Herodom, who performed only indifferently during the earlier part of the year, is now showing some fine practice gallops, and I feel con- fident that the pony will win a race before long, no matter in what com-
pany he finds himself.
Of the other, Mike is about fifty per cent. better than he was in June. Windsor Stag is also shap ing nicely and Orlando is another good one worth keeping an eye on. the Tiger returned from Shanghai last week, but has not been seen in action so far.

CLUB GALA.
ENJOYABLE AFTERNOON
AT V.R.C.
The inclement weather did not prevent the Taikoo Club swimming gala being held at the Victoria Recreation Club poud yesterday afternoon and quite a large gather- ing assembled to contribute to the success of the gala
The antries in all the oventa were quite large and keen rivalry was shown during the racat. Excellent swimming was witnessed in spite of the coldness of the water and the cold breeze blowing. The keenest interest was aroused in the sports by the younger generation, who were greatly in preponderance,
All the events were worked off smoothly and great credit is dus to the organisers for the precision with which the various events were carried out.
At the conclusion of the meet, Mr. F. J. Shervell distributed a glittering collection of prizes.
Mr. D. B. Bone, presiding at the distribution, said:"Ladice and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, if you' realized us I do to what an extent the success of this event to-day has heen due to the enterprise and energy of Mr. Russell, you would understand my diffidence in now addressing you. I can only, on be half of the Taikoo Club, thank you all very much for making this gala a success, especially when one-con- siders the inclement weather which has made travelling rather uncon- fortable. We are greatly indebted to those members who generously subscribed to the funds thereby allowing us to engage, the bath of the Victoria Recreation Club, to whom we tender our best thanks for their generosity.
Our swimming gala is now be- coming an annual event, and as the years go round we trust the pros perity of the club will be such as to warrant the continuity of this most important function in the pro- gramme of the Taikoo Club. Due to reasons best known to others, our programme bas been altered some what, but we have included all the potential swimmers in out midst, and hope they will pluck up the necessary courage to participate in the various events at this gala.
Owing to the unsatisfactory conditions we would be very pleased to have the four young ladies again try theWee Channel swim, as I feel confident that given more suit able conditions they can all do it. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Shaw for their generosity in pre senting the prizes for the Channel' swim.
After the distribution of prizes, Mrs. Shervell was presented with a bouquet of flowers, and three hearty cheers were called for her.
