The chief excitement in the village has been the holding of a small theatre in the centre of the fish drying ground near one of the small shrines. The owners of the portable cookstalls took advantage of the occasion, and did a brisk trade. Some substantial stone and brick buildings are being put up where unsightly shacks used to stand.

FINE WEATHER FOR OPENING DAY.

FULL» · DETAILS OF THE FIRST THREE

EVENTS.

A large number of jockeys from Shanghai had swelled the list of available riders, thus paving the way to big fields where the running was not overshadowed by the presence of some much- boosted candidate.

King Sol was trying his best to put punters on good terms with themselves and there was just that cold nip in the air to make things snappy.

By the time the first saddling bell went at 11.30 a.m., a good many ladies had graced the course with their presence. All were appreciative of the new verandah arrangement outside the private boxes, facilitating access thereto.

-H.E. the Governor (Sir Edward Stubbs), accompanied by Captain R. Neville, A.D.C. and Mr. T. J. Gaisford-St. Lawrence, private secretary, arrived on the course with the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Cowper Gollan) just before, the start of the second race and were met by Sir Faul Chater.

P A fairly large crowd had arrived by this time to witness what promised to be a successful day's racing,

As was to be expected with the big fields in the first two races. there was some delay in getting the ponies away.

Some of the best years of his life had been spent in the Colony, and his one great regret at going away was that he was leaving behind some very dear friends. His connection with Kowloon Cricket Club had always been a most pleasant one, and he had no hesitation in saying that he regarded it as one of the finest institutions in the Far East.
