CLOSE FINISH
IN FIRST RACE
AT VALLEY
Warm, muggy weather marked the second day of the annual Race Meeting at Happy Valley, The course, however, was in excellent condition, being favourable to fast times.
Chief interest to-day centres in the Hongkong Derby, to be run at 4 p.m., the cash sweep on which has been strongly supported. Opinions vary as to the likely winner, with Happy Eve strongly fancied in some quarters. and Havoc Eve and Rosemary in others. A thrilling race is, in any event, expected.
The first event, the Tower Stakes, produced a most thrilling finish between the first three ponies. Gordito, ridden by Mr. V. C. Sung, managed to snatch victory from Pagan Love (Mr. F.. Marshall) by a short head, while Coronation Day (Mr. Frost) was separated from the latter by the same distance.
The first big dividend pald on the pari-mutuel was $101.28, which backers of Linnarmon, ridden by Mr. I. C. Harris in the Perth Plate, secured, The winner came in a length ahead of Dick Turpin (Mr. E. C. Leighton), with Such Fun, ridden by Mr. Frost, in third position three lengths away.

ANSWER TO BRITISH For Advantage RE-ARMAMENT PLANS
Rome, February 21.
Italy's first response to Great Britain's enormous re-armament plan has taken the form of an order for the mobilisation of five classes of conscripts, totalling 1,000,000 men, born between 1900 and 1904. They are instructed to report at depots on dates to be announced later.
The object of the Italian Government is to test the speed and efficiency of its mobilisation plans.
If there is no reason for keeping this army of conscripts mobilised, the men will be sent back to their homes after they have reported.
The Fascist Grand Council will meet on March 1 to consider the military situa. It is understood it will decide on further all-round re-armament, especially of the Air Force.—Reuter.

Washington. Feb. 21, After an sonoimeement that the Carnegie Illinok Steef Cor- poration had agreed to furnishi steel to the Tennessee Valley Au- thority under the terms of the Walsh-Healy Act, the Depart ment ment of Labour asked the United Steel Corporation, of which the Carnegie concern is a subsidiary. to set aside two plants to furnish the Navy with sterl under the same terms.
Labour Department officials hope that the deadlock between the Navy and steel manufac- turers may thus be broken. Reuter.

LOYALISTS CLAIM NEW GROUND GAINED
Special To "Telegraph"
Madrid, Feb. 22. Loyalists and rebels are locked in bitter combat on three fronts. To the south, the Government troops are trying to dislodge the insurgents from Mount Pincarron; to the north, the Loyalists forced the rebels to retreat on the Bolino-Depina-Belloque sector. However, the insurgents on the Perdiguera front improved their positions, occupying fortified territory to the north-west of Madrid:
Loyalists, meanwhile, have entered the outskirts of Bilbao, and threaten the entire occupation of that city.
At Valencia, the War Ministry has conscripted all men from the age of 23 to 27, estimated at 150,000.
General Miaji, commanding at Madrid, says the rebels on the Jarama River sector have been heavily reinforced and are apparently preparing for a new "push." Observers believe the rebels will renew their northern offensive with the hope of drawing Loyalists from the southern, Malaga and Jarama sectors. The Jarama River lines are unchanged, in spite of heavy fighting.-- United Presa.
