POWERS DO TO-DAY'S RACING.

NOT AGREE

GLOOMY OUTLOOK AT CONFERENCE. FRANCE FIRM. HOPE OF FIVE-POWER AGREEMENT LOW

London, Yesterday.

It is understood in American naval delegation circles that hope of reaching an agreement on a Five Power basis has been virtually abandoned. The delegation has booked passages to America for April 22. It is thought that the outcome of the Conference will be on effective Three Power agree- ment between Britain, Japan and America, and minor points Powers-Reuter.

[By "Wombat"]

Some great racing is promised at the meeting at Happy Valley this afternoon, and good entries have been received in all the ten events.

Although there were a few mild showers during the early morning I do not expect the going will have suffered to any great extent, and if we do not have anything in the way of a heavy shower be- fore the opening event times should be on the fast alde, as the track is in excellent condition at the moment.
