The Ladies Sprint over six far- longe should provide a win for 10.12 Tion Feng Shan. Christmas Belle and Imperial Hall, who were plac. ad during the week, might give the favourite a good rnes "and in trath, Imperial Hall looks as though he is going to win.
The New Year Steeplechase over a mile and a half will probably prove to be the return match be tween Loch Ryan and Rooslan. Champagat Bay might start here and between these three ponies there would be a good race with the odds slightly in favour of Rooslan.
The novices race should be a very interesting affair and it remains to be scan whether. Festival Eve can win again. Personally I think ho dught to, though many seem to think that Alexandra Hall is a much better pony, The Plover looks as though he is going to get & place.

Very old rivals will meet when St. Joseph's take the field against the Police. Both teams, in the past, have done a great deal to make football what it is in Hong Kong to-day, and some of their en- counters in pre-League days have become historic. St. Joseph's are right back at the top again this season, after pluckily struggling against heavy odds. They should win fairly comfortably. But the Police are, and always bave been, the surprise packet of the local game, and it is dangerous to in- dulge in prophesy, where they are concerned, Superior half back play should tell its tale in this game." power pl
