The .s. Taishan will depurt from the Cunton steamers' wharf at 9.30 a.m., returning at a p.m.
There are six interesting handicap events on the enrd, the main being the Chunghuu Cup over a mile and a special deltar cash sweep is con- ducted on this race.
The curtain raiser will be the Pleasant Quarters Hundleap for
ล
Mueno subscription ponies over distance once round from the judge's) box. My fancy is Hogmanay, with Rothesay Boy and Merry Fully next.
In the Republican Handicap (fret section) for "E" class Chinn panies which is another run over the same course,
the order of the finish should be National Dignity, Stymle and Cricketer.
