The "Double Tenth" Plate will naturally form the main attraction. This race was won by Mr. Li Shu Pang's Soldier of Britain, last year, and there will undoubtedly be keen competi- tion among the owners to carry off the coveted honour to-mor row. The Canberra Handicap for "A" Class Australian Ponies, and the Sub-Griffins Autumn Plate for this year's subscriptions griffins, should also prove most interesting.

I regret to announce that Mr. S. C. Liang, the Tientsin Jockey, is indisposed, and will probably not be riding to-morrow.

JAGAT SINGH HAS VERY FINE RECORD-

(By "REFEREE") Followers of wrestling in the Colony will be given a rare treat next Sunday morning at the AI- bambrá Theatre, when Jagat Singh, the "death-jock” artist, will the meet Young Aguinaldo, of Philippine Islands and conqueror of Wong Bock Cheung, the Ameri- can Chinese wrestler in four 10- minute rounds under American catch-as catch-can rules.

Both wrestlers in the main bout are very well known, 'Aquinaldo having beaten Wong Bock-theang at the Lee Theatre a fortnight ago, while the Chinese wrestler won in Canton last Saturday night after a thrilling bout.

Good Bout Anticipated Jagat Singh is well-known for his prowess, and his meeting with the Filipino on Sunday morning is likely to produce as good a bout as has hitherto been seen.
