Satisfactory Entries For Fanling Meet
Special Dollar Sweep On St. John Cup Race The Main Attraction
(By "Captain Foster")
Very good entries have been received for the Spring Meeting, which will be the last of the Fanling Hunt and Race Club to be held at Kwanti on Sunday. The St. John Cup, which is a handicap flat event for "D" class China ponies, is the main event.
