MONGOLIAN STAKES Despite the somewhat gloomy weather, large crowds of turf enthusiasts gathered at Happy Valley this afternoon to witness the Hongkong Derby, on which a remarkably large number of sweep tickets had been sold. The race was won by Happy Eve, with Expansion Time second, and Havoc Eve third. '

Jockey honours were well, distributed in the five races comprising the morning events, in which Mr. V. C. Sung, Mr. I. Harris, Mr. J. Pote- Hunt, Mr. L. G. Frost and Mr. H. C. Pih each brought home a winner.
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 bi dividend paid on the pari-mutuel was $101.20, which backers of Llanormon, 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.

"CAN SPRING BE FAR BEHIND?"
A fairly rare phenomenon in
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.

China Light and Power Company Denies Report
NEGOTIATIONS ADMITTED ; PLANT BEING EXTENDED
Vague rumours regarding future extensions by the China Light and Power Company Ltd. crystallised this morning in a report, from the Telegraph correspondent in Canton, that the company had successfully negotiated a contract to supply power to the East River district in Kwangtung.
This report, however, was emphatically denied by high officials of the Company, when interviewed by a Telegraph representative.
The official admitted that negotiations had at one time been in progress for such a project, but had reached no finality.

The Telegraph learns that the China Light and Power Company is making extensive additions in the near future to its power supply at Hok Hung.
FLOOD MENACE RECURS
British Metropolitan Vickers tur- bine generators, with a total output of 12,500 kilowatt hours, have been ordered from England.
When they are installed in a new extension to the existing plant at Hok Hung, they will provide sumelent power to more than double the exist- ing requirements of the mainland.
