A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
The sensational defeat of the Giraffe by 21⁄2 lengths by the Kong Bros., crack Australian pony, Polar Star, in the Fremantle St. Leger, robbed Mr. Leo Frost of his chance of opening a new chapter in the history of the Colony turf by winning the three St. Legers.
The champion jockey won the Hong Kong St. Leger on Liberty Bay, and the sub-griffins St. Leger on Racing Boy, at the thirteenth extra race meeting held at the Valley un November 5, and had he brought off the hat trick he would have established a precedent in the annals of the Hong Kong Jockey. Club.
Two record times were bettered during the day's racing, 9.4/5 seconds being clipped off the time for the 14 miles distance for Australian ponies and 1.3/5 seconds being clipped from the best time over the same distance for China ponies. Neither of these new times constitute re- cords, owing to the scale of weight per inches.
A detailed report of the meeting is given: In- the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Scot and Sassenach alike gathered at the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps Headquarters to celebrate the Scottish Company's eighth Hallowe'en Reunion Dinner on November 4. Ushered in to the swirling music of the pipes, the haggla, brown and steaming, was the motif of the even- ing. The passing round the official table of the bowl with a "wee sma" drappie" was also carried out with due ceremony. Nearly 100 other members of the Scottish Coy., and guests were present. Capt. Forsyth proposed the loyal toast, and after the singing of "Scots Wha Hae," Capt. Forsyth again rose to propose "The Visitors," Mr. K. E. Greig replying.

The grounds of St. Andrew's Church, Kowloon, were gally decked for the occasion of the Olde English Faire, which commemorates the opening of St. Andrew's Church for public worship. The Faire on November 5 was declared open by Mrs. J. R. Wood, the wife of the Pulsne Judge of Hong Kong, in the presence of a large and distinguished gathering, the opening ceremony taking place on the Village Green. Bright sunshine favoured the largely attended func tion. All the fun of the traditional "faire" was thoroughly enjoyed by young and old alike. There were many booths at which all kinds of commodities, fruits, flowers, needle- work, books, cigarettes, and Christmas presents of all des- criptions, were sold.
