Singles will be played in the morning, and foursomes in the afternoon. Thore is usually a headache attached to this game, as it is followed by a dinner for which the losing side pays. Entries are post on- trics, and the teams will bo divided as evenly as possible as far as handicaps are concerned.
Surprising developments in the women's champion- ship have been the eliminations of Miss Sequeira and Mrs. Remedios by Miss L. G. Ablong and Mrs. A. J. Kew re- spectively. The latter two, who are the finalists, are also sisters.

Successful Year For The Race Club
A RECORD CROWD at the Fanling Race meeting at Kwanti on Boxing Day, a doubling of commissions
