JAPAN ALREADY PREPARING FOR 1940

DIANA BAY WINS EPIC STRUGGLE OUTSTANDING SPRINT OVER LAST QUARTER ELECTRON SHOWS UP WELL

(By "RAPIER")

APART from the sensation created by the disqualification of Bear Claw in the Kwangsi Handicap, the Eighth Extra Race Meeting conducted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club last Saturday at the Valley was most successful. Favoured by gloriously fine weather, the racing was thoroughly enjoyable, although, the attendance was not what one might have expected, which was probably due to other attractions in view of the day being the Chinese National Holiday.

I cannot recollect any previous meeting where boncurs A among both owners and jockeys were so evenly divided. perusal of the list reveals the unusual fact that not one Owner

The disqualification of Bear Claw robbed Mr. Black of the honour of again heading the list of most successful jockeys. After several unsuccessful attempts, Mr. W. H. Choy at last graduated from the Novice Class, for which he received the con- gratulations of his many friends.

VARIOUS agencies and organisations in Tokio are already discussing arrangements for the next Olympic Games, to be held there in 1940. And there will be no frivolity, no lighter side of life, in Tokio in 1940 if the police have their way. It is proposed to close all dance-halls, which operate under close police restriction and supervision, and also to forbid Japanese girls of the flapper age to seek the autographs of well- known athletes.

It seems that when some Far Eastern games were held there in 1930 a number of Japanese girls formed acquaintance- ships with Filipino athletes by requesting their autographs." This wax regarded as highly improper and degrading by old- fashioned Japanese; and the police intend to ensure that it shall not happen again.

It is assumed that with the influx of foreigners for the games the police will often be called on to give directions and to straighten out small misunderstandings. With a view to fit- ting them for the performance of these tasks, the head of the foreign section of the Metropolitan Police Board has suggested that every policeman undergo an elementary training course in English, as the most widely used foreign language.
