One of the sensations of the first round of the Open Pairs Lawn Bowls Championship provided on Wednesday on the H.K.F.C. green when U. M. Omar' and B. W.

the Civil Service players, whe only took up the game last year, actually led the Craigengower pair by two shots on the 19th head, but in a final effort the veterans scored on the next two heads to clinch the game by 19 shots to 17.

Though no track records likely to be shattered at to-mor row's Race Meeting, which will conclude the first half of the sea- son at the Valley, some excellent racing is anticipated in the consola- tion events.
I understand Lemberg is going out In the first leg of the "double," and it therefore looks 28 if Monoplane, under the guidance of Mr. Pan, is a good thing for the Beaufort Handicap over a mile. In his last outing he accounted for Bay View over six furlongs, and
the longer distance, despite a big
change in weights should see Mr. Lan'a entry to better advantage.
Bay View (Mr. Liang), William Osler (Mr. Heard), and What A Chance (Mr. Deltz) look the next best bets in the absence of Budge, who is reported lame.
Weight Will Decide
Mutiny Bay ran well under Mr. Proulx in the Brisbane Spring Handicap, but to-morrow he will be facing Just That with only an 8 lb. advantage as against 18 lb. pre viously, and this is as likely as not to twin the scales against him- he won by 3 lengths last time out. Mr. Soaren was very satisfied with Just That's gallop on Wednea- day, and his impressive showing then rather suggests a belated win for Mr. Seth..
Night Star's 1.49.3 for the Wall. send Handicap was not so impres- sive, but with a weight reduction of 10 b. the race may do better than secure third place, but 1 doubt it.
Atlas is the danger and Alacrity,
ridden by Mr. Tavlor, is not at all
bad bet.
