Last week's Race Meeting was featured by Flying Tourist's sen. sational run under Mr. Tang Man; Wa. It was yet another reminder that the junior riders can do some- thing when given the mounts. It was a particularly fine finish and it is hats off to Mr. Tang Man Wa for a well-judged racet

FOUR of the strongest representative soccer teams will battle for Lai Wah Cup honours to-morrow, when the semi-final clashes between the Navy and Civilians at Kowloon, and the Chinese and the Army on the Club ground, will feature the week-end programme.

The Civilians, holders of the Cup, are fielding their strongest possible side, but will be fully extended by the Navy, who, with practically the whole of the' China Fleet at their disposal, should turn out one of their strongest teams of the year.
