There are nine handicap events down for decision at Fourth Extra Race Meeting of the Hongkong Jockey Club morrow afternoon, of which, the St. George's Plate will be classic of the day. This main event has attracted only seven en- tries, but there is every reason to believe that all the contenders will go to the post and the fight for hongars should be an interest- ing one.

RUMJAHNS TO PLAY AGAIN Sirdar's Attack Of Cramp
"BY. "TAG"
In some ways, a disappointment; the Colony Tennis Singles semi- finn tie, between the Eumjahn cousins, H.D. and S.A., on the Stand Court of the Hongkong Cricket Club ground yesterday was not without its share of thrills at the end
Sirdar is to be commisserated with in having victory practically snatched from his grasp, H.D. congratulated on living to fight another day. One had bad luck, the other made the fullest use of his good "break."
Two sets up. Sirdar was playing well enough, though showing
more signs of fatigue, than his cousin, when cramp, from which" he has suffered frequently in re- cent years, got him in the right leg. The result was a complete switch-over... H.D. got that third set to love and went on to take the fourth with the loss of only

The attendance at the Shoot on Wednesday at the EoV- loon City Fange was much smaller than usual, only 53 being present. Weather conditions were good except that at 300 yards the light was continually changing in Intensity, and even caught out one or two of the recent Bisley Meeting experts. Some were evidently, so disgusted with their efforts that they omitted to hand in their score cardși
Nett spoons were won by 8.1. A. C, Chan, H.K.P.R. for S.R. (b) ride and by Sgt. R. J. Heap, RNR.. for SR (a).
