SMALL DIVIDENDS.
MR. T. L. WONG'S RIDING SUCCESS.
SATURDAY'S RACES.
Dividends were consistently small on Saturday when the Hong Kong Jockey Club's fourth extra race meeting of the season was held at Happy Valley. A feature of the sport was the success of Mr. T. L Wong, who rode in all cight official races and was only unplaced once. He had three firsts, three seconds, and a third,
Mr. Wong now tops the list of jockeys for the extra season. Mr. R. H. Charles, however, won twice and was placed second on two occasions, und is close on Mr. Wong's heels, having also dis- placed Mr. L. Reidy who had hitherto occupied the top berth.
Once again, the handicap events were full of interest, draw-| ing big fields and resulting in close finishes.
To the official programme was added a match in which Mr. Gor- don beat Mr. A. D. Crabbe hand- somely.
The "Eve" stable was the only one to secure a double, doing so with New Year's Eve and Boxing Eve. The latter came near to equalling a record which has stood for twelve years. His time for the mile is believed to be one of the best for an extra meeting.
