Up to the present, the weather has been exceptionally good at race meetings, and to-morrow should prove no exception to the rule. I expect to see the track in splendid condition, and there is every reason to anticipate fast times.

THE "EWO” HANDICAP. (UNOFFICIAL-ONE MILE

This is an annual affair confined to members of the staff of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. Ltd, and the Jardine Engineering Corp. Ltd, which generally amounts to a scramble for home on the fall of

the flag.

I have recollections that fairly substantial dividends have invari ably been paid on events of this description in the past, and that such races are generally won by ponies with the biggest handicap. I advocate keeping this point in mind as it may prove profitable.
