I am sorry to hear that there is a possibility of losing two riiters who have contributed to many thrilling races here. especially in the Australian class Mr. W. H. 8. "Daffy" Davies is expected to leave for Shanghai next month,. while Mr. E. 0. Butler may proceed to Tientsin. The departure of these two riders will certainly cause a serious shortage of Jockeys for. Australian ponies since only two of our local Chinese jockeys have so far shown any desire to participate in these events. This is particularly unfortunate as several of our Chinese Jockeys can ride at the low weight frequently allotted, this class of pony.

As I write these notes I hear that "Daffy" Davies is confined to his home with kidney trouble and will not ride to-morrow His mounts will be handled by Mr. D. Black.

LAWN BOWLS UPSET IN WIND?

SOUZA PLAYS HIMSELF INTO FIRST CCC. TEAM RECREIO PROMISE MAINTAINED

(By "Skip")

THE opening of the bowls season was marked by the ideal conditions under which all games were played, and the results in the First Division were as expected. This can readily be understood when one considers that form among the seniors is more or less set, and, having already reached a high standard of excellence there is not the same scope for improvement as there is with the juniors.

In their match with the Civil Service the Craigengower "A" team were moving like clockwork, the precision of their shots, the unerring skill disclosed consistently throughout the 21 heads. und their team work, won the extreme admiration of partial and impartial, observers alike. There was not much chance of the Civil Service rinks achieving successes against such deadly bowl- ing, but their cheerful attitude and the courage with which they stuck to the task was worthy of, a better fate. It was an unhill fight for them all the time and Grimmitt, Jones and Deg- con rendered excellent service.

The Craigengower "A" team gave a superlative display and the result speaks for itself. If any of its members are separat. ed from the others, it is because they reached a high standard of excellence; in this category are Omar, Luz, Basa, and Souza; the latter was chosen to play skip in the junior team, and only came into the "A" rink at the last moment, and on his play It appears advisable to keep him there.

H. Beer was off form, as also was Summons, Bradbury's rink was very steady, both skip and No. 3 playing their usual careful game, which was a pleasure to watch.
