THE MOST Important CONTEST of the Second Extra Race Meeting to-morrow at Happy Valley is the Stewards' Cup, a handicap for Australian pony griffins of this season, and the winner is to receive a silver- trophy presented by the Stewards of the Hongkong Jockey Club plus the stake money of $1,500.

How- ever, the new list comprising five shecis is too long to reproduce in this column, but there has no doubt been a great deal of demotions among the fold Australian and China ponies.
