Their last clash at Caroline Hill was memorable for the fact EAST LANCS that Lee Tin-sang, the Interport and South China right-back,| was given marching orders following a scrimmage in their goal- mouth, and for the sensational second-half revival which gave South China their victory.

The Athletic, who are fielding their best side for Sunday, and, playing with the advantage of a Home ground, may tura the tables on their Caroline Hill rivals.

During the week some excellent times have been recorded by the Australian ponles, the most outstanding being Dr. Chau's Derby Day, who covered a mile In the excellent time of 1.54, fin- ishing in 0.29.3, going very easy...

Mr. S. L. K's Shooting Star went over 14 miles In 2.58.1 finishing in 0.28.4 going well. It is a great pity this pony has only been in training for six weeks or so. I am sure if he had had more training he would definitely be the "top notcher"—as it is. I do not think he is quite lit though I still think he has a good chance in the classics.
