CIVILIANS SERVICES AT FANLING
The following are the scores of the whole hog. At the very end of a match played over the Old Course the Civilian the book is a "list of ponies and at Fanling between stables." see the ponics in and the United Services members alphabetical order, but not the other of the Ladies Section:
Civilians list according to ownership necessary factor especially to those who write and give tips.
Designations whether a pony has faced the starter before, is a griffin or a subscription griffin might also be helpful.
The time against the first race each day (12 neon) is set down in the index: but why not a fixed time for the fifth race as well-the first after the titia interval each day?
A very pleasing feature of the sport is the return to active owner- ship of "Mr. John Peel." The previous Jardine taipan, Mr. D. G. M. Bernard, was not keen on sport although Mrs. Bernard had
a few ponies. Mr. B.. D. F. Beith, however, is an enthusiast and all followers of the turf wish him good luck.
One thing
tho noticeable is fower "big stables"
among the Europeans. There used to be a fair number with formidable lists of entries; but these are now con- Ained to Dynasty, Eve, L. Dunbar, Dyer and Beith, Hynes and Mackie -in no particular order.
