Tonight's Chess
By "RECORDER"
Though the Army beat the King George V. School by 36· points to 20 on the School track yesterday in the first athletic dual meet held in Hongkong within my memory, the schoolboys won the three shorter races and made a close challenge of it in all the others.
The good times returned-by our standards-suggested that the Colony's best runners were nearly all present and that the Colony's individual cham- plons, up to the half mile at least, were in action.
The Army swamped the School in the field events, scoring 20 points in these against four.
There were so many promising runners in the programme of six races that it would be difficult to enumerate them, but' one fact stood out and that was that Kirswell of Army, who took both the Inif-Mile and the Mile, was not really pressed in either.
It is true that bis winning; Tuke (Army), Time: 2 miris, 12 margins against Atkinson, his 3/5 secs.

WELL-JUDGED
Anished third, Cradlock, ran a well-judged race for a schoolboy and did well to finish some 25 yards behind Atkinson. He did not permit himself to be dragged to the pace over the first if mile and had a lot of quarter, reserve over the last catching up on some 50 yards. Some acceleration in the third quarter might have brought him nearer to Atkinson in the per to the tape.

Northants Starts Off
Well Against Somerset
London, May 4-Northamptonshire, bottom team last year, made a good start in the first County championship game of the season today by scoring exactly 400 against Somerset at Taunton.
F. R. Brown, former Cambridge University, Surrey and England all-rounder, could feel well satisfied with Northamptonshire's batting on his first day as skipper of his new County, for they batted with encouraging solidity against a varied Somerset attack.

£1,650 Prize Without
Winner Backing A
To receive £1,650 when your horse fails to win a race seems almost too good to be true, but that was the happy experience of Mr Sol Yager at Epsom, when his Billy La Belle Mazarin finished second in the Banstead Selling Plate. The winner was put up for auction after the race and the owner received only the entered selling price, which in this caso was £800. Everything the horse makes over and above that is divided half to the racecourse company' and half to the owner of the second, the idea being to prevent good horses, being put in sellers for gambling purposes.

The winner, trained in France, made the re- cord selling plate price of £3,000, and so Mr Yager und the Epsom race-course company
received £1,050 aplece.
