Fanlings and Fan-Tales

My story of the Fanling Races starts from Saturday night in the Hong Kong Hotel, where a hundred and one people gave parties to celebrate their recovery from St. Patrick. The feature of the evening was St William Hornell's bumper-party which filled the whole of one side of the dining room, and was obviously" having a very good time, In it were many of the youth and beauty of Hong Kong, notably Pat Master with her Anance, John Casson, home from the sea, Susan Pot- ter, Yvonne Shenton, evidently much retreshed by her leave and Eileen Bonnar in a very lovely green frock which is always so much admired in this column that she will soon have to get anourier one in self defence. "Among the men, the military predominated. Sir William sat in the middle of the table like a benevolent deity, mak- Ing completely certain that everybody was enjoying' themselves to the utmost.

It is not to be wondered at that I myself sitting at the back of the hall "--was dazzled by this oruliant gathering. So you won't get many dresses from me this time, I'm afraid,
When I reached Fanling on Sunday lor the ias steep.echase. meeting of 142 scenuli, 1 nua a teraenty w green" spots before the Cyes, and a javusion from any colour excep. a nice dark blue,
The day started well, however. Lt. Col. Carrington Sykes and the officers of the Royal Artillery were a monie in their maisned, and a number of very amusing lunch partes were gaven The Colonel lumiself gave one, while Capt. Dun.up" and John kopes collected in "cads" corner" at the back of the`tent--a big party including Jackie Stocker, his aunt, Miss Parry, a charming newcomer to the Colony, Mi, and Mrs. Gerald Portman, Clive Garthwaite and a lot of others whom I failed to focus. It was a first class lunch, and a trst class us to a nrst curse season.
BLAZE OF SUNSHINE
The races took place in a blaż, of sunshine to the music of the 2.W.ss. band. In the nrse race, I was pleased to see Mr. Mackay", who has taken so much trouble with The Curiew, ride a clever fale to win. in the second, Mr. Delitz was billed to re Festival Eve, Dus he lever turned up. mr, stocker swaignt from the luncheon tubie met, Festivars owner in the weighing room and picked up the rice. He rude wine pory very well; restival Eve tours easy but has a trick or giving up nail way it ne Isn't property nandled, Mr. Stecker Ked nis ride so much that he cried to gu round the course again after the finish. Third, race, The Grand National, was the nig. event on the card, it was also the most exciting. The Gadwail, Jonany Hope's old, pony, started off at a greas pace, but the third time round on the far side, he took a jump by the roots, and I was glad to see his rider walking back safe and sound. Ken Kemble on White Heather also fed at this fence and was not so lucky, for he got
ustily concussed. However, he has now completely recovered.
In the fourth race a number of "respected old hunting gentle- med" turned out for & jolly. That bold horse. The Cawk, tipped in "The Pink 'Un," was clearly irritated, and kicked us rider Mr. Hopes long before the start, In spite of the fact that the field seemed built for comfort rather than speed, Step- hen Skey on the Qual produced the necessary for a "nice win" and paid $49 odd to this bäckers.

The ladies race was somehow different,” Put an obstacie a woman's path and you bring out all her strongest characteristics. At all events the interposition of hurdles around the ladies" course was a great success. Elbows whipped out, jaws clenched, looking Ilke Wallace Beery, and the whole field rode a most competent race. Yvonne Shenton on Wembley Stag was just a bit better, than the rest. The last race was another (and last) triumph for “Jenks " whose grand pony, Tom Cobley, won easily. He might have been more sorely tried but Col. Marsh's pony, Tommy, showed an evid- ent distaste for the racing fraternity, and left the course in the dir- ection, of Canton when in a challenging position in the straight.
After this we went back to the Hunters Arms, and fought the season's battles over again, I forgot whether I was last out, or the other fellow.
