Those, who had followed Moonlight View for the last | two years, will regret to learn that the pony will never race again at Happy Valley owing to the fact that he has failed to get under 14 hands 2 inches.

FOR THE FIRST TIME in a good many years, the United Servicos match was not played on China Now Year owing to the difficulty of the 27 Servicos putting out a representative side. But the Club repeated the excellent game that had before been such a success-against a Free Fores- 127ters side. The result this time was reversed, and Fall of wickets: 1/12, 2/34, 3/56, the Club won by eight wickets. 4/56, 3/60, 7/85, 8/90, 9/120, 10/127. Bowling Analysis

SOCCER
GAME CRITICISED
SHANGHAI, Feb. 9 (UP),-Hongkong held the Shanghai Chinese, represented by the Lido's upbeaten team, to a draw of one goal each to-day, after one of the roughest games this season. It was also marked by lax refereeing which resulted in Hongkong's failure to win.
Holiday Golf
ANNUAL MATCHES AT COUNTRY CLUB AND KOWLOON
Gosano scored with a header in the Arst half but the goal was disallowed as the referee said Gosano had fouled at the time of shooting.
Gosano scored from # the second half and K." Henalty in Kuang equalised two minutes before the end. According to the time kept in the Press box, Iluang actually scored the goal two minutes after the game should have ended.
