MR, BLACK TO RIDE CONFUSION. BAY ONCE AGAIN

(By "Rapier")

THERE IS EVERY reason to anticipate that glorious conditions for racing will prevail to-morrow when Hong Kong Jockey Club stage their Tenth Ex- tra Race Meeting, the first saddling bell for which will be rung at 1.30 p.m. There are altogether eight events on the programme, the most interesting of which is the Fremantle St. Leger for Australian Sub- scription ponies of this season over 11⁄4 miles.
