Of The Semaphore
Misleads Punters
THE HONGKONG JOCKEY CLUB provided the racing public with good sport at Happy Valley last Saturday, but it would be advisable to the in- terest of all concerned that the Club should pro- vide a bigger somaphore that can hold three saddle numbers horizontally in a row.
What actually happened was this. A most thrilling finish was seen in the Jordan Handicap (first section) for "D" class China ponies when West Lake crossed the wire first, beating three runners almost in a line by one and a half lengths. After a few minutes of deliberation the judges decided that they could not separate Eve of Hunt- ing (R. M. Wood), Portrush (H. S. Chang) and Sunlight View (H. C. Pih) and a dead-heat, was therefore awarded to these three racers for second place.
There was, however, a lot of confusion among the Tommy Atkins' staff in hoisting the numbers owing to the fact that there were only two slots in each row and the punters were left A steadiness of length that promises much for the League champlona at-in a quandary as to the final re

NOTABLE VICTORY FOR
EVE OF HARVEST
SIR VICTOR SASSOON scored a notable win in the October Handicap with his Eve of Harvest and the mount was nicely nursed by Donald Black, who, I am sure, will ad- mit that the mare had a few pounds to spare at the finish.
She was certainly a picture in the ring during the parade. Her coat shone like an apple and the muscles were well developed.
This, of course, spoke volumes for the training.
