Mr. "Billy" Hill, perhaps one of the greatest of China pony gentleman riders of all time, provided the sensation of the fourth day of the Hong Kong Jockey Club's annual race meeting to-day by making an unexpected appearance, riding the third-best backed $6.00. pony in the sixth race, and winning in the style which has made him ao popular with turfites in Shanghai, Hong Kong and elsewhere. Heeding the "call of the East," Mr. Hill has come back after re. tiring in 1925 when he rode a series of astounding successes in Shanghai. Prior to that he had come down to Hong Kong regularly for the annual meeting, to ride for Mr. G. H. Potts, Mr. Ellis Hayim, Messrs. Henry Morriss and Marshall, and others.

critical moment. Rather than bat-Mr. R. M. Austin's Grey tie out the issue at the last turn, Mr. Hill waited till he entered the straight and then drove his pony through a gap in a line of three and went on to win in convincing fashion. After being cheered by those who won and lost, Mr. Hill left to catch his boat.

If the attendance before lunch was below the average of the first three days of the week, it swelled after the interval and both cush sweeps and pari-mutuet were well supported as earlier in week:
