The Eton and Harrow match began. yesterday under somewhat dubious auspices, for Lord's had on thorough drenching Thursday, and St Swithin, appar ently in the sourest of tempers, is to-day actually upon us. Luckily the Saint was content with a threib or two, and the game was lot in terrupted once. ..It hardly met bis temporary good-humour in the spirit it de served. Haraw in five hours stored $37, and Eton in an hour and 50 minutes 91 for three wickets. There were undeniably some drab periods.

Harrow won the toss, and, as things turned out, would have much preferred to lose it. Neither cap lain could risk putting the other side in, but Harrow certainly had the worse of the conditions. The outiield was slow all the morning; the wicket itself was a turning father than a aticky one.

But the batsmen had a sufficient number of close shaves to keep them wary, and only two of them seemed completely happy. For all that the Eton bowling was just not good enough. There were several periods when a little more edge to in would havo cut through the Harrow defences, but the new bats. man was never made to feel he was a worm and no mun; he was, in stead, given a few polite off-balls which he could, and invariably did, politely leave alone..

The new Australian ponies order. ed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club to race for the 1934 season arrived

It is understood that forty of them are a hack race ponies and one is ordered specially by a member of the Club, though on looking over the lot that was landed yesterday, it was difficult to imagine which particular one was intended as the hack
The draw for these ponies takes place this afternoon and no doubt those who have subscribed would like to know what the lot looks like this time.
On the whole, the impression created by looking at the lot as they were landed, was a favourable one. They were all measured yes terday afternoon at the Jockey Club stables in Village Road, where they are housed at present. From
the look of them there were very few, if any, under fourteen hands.
Ei Good Conditiori, After they were landed, a batta- lion of mafoos led the ponies away from Taikoo along Causeway Bay Road to the Stables. Tram traffic was held up at various points to
