PRESENTATION TO HON. MR. C. G.. MACKIE
In the first five events of to-day's racing card at Happy Valley, two records were broken, the first when Soldier of Britain, ridden by Mr. S. Y. Sun, won the Ladies' Purse and the second when Racing Heart, Mr. Heard up, won the Adelaide Stakes.
There were two spills at the track, neither of them very serious. Mr. H. P. Chanson riding Chateau Bay in the Ladies' Purse event, was thrown but not injured. In the Blue Mountains Plate Mr. S. Y. Sun was riding Soldier of Australia when, on approaching the grand- stand, the pony's bandage slipped, causing him to cross his legs and stumble. Mr. Sun was thrown over the pony's head and was rather badly shaken up.
