The Sixth Race Meeting of the new season under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club will be run over. two consecutive Saturday afternoons, the first tomorrow and the second on December 13,

The first saddling bell to morrow will be rung at 1.00 p.m. and the First Race will be run at 1.30 p.m. sharp.

An attractive programme of nine events-with a malisfactory number of entries han been drawn up for tomorrow, the most promising races being the two for Class 4 ponies,

Mr A. Ostroumolt has now fully recovered from his illness and will be riding tomorrow.

but in view of its ane form at the moment I don't think this extra tra weight will step It from winning again.

Jennifer (Mr Lau Yeu-leung). which was second in this same racq, is the danger here, and if It can take the lead from the start the result is likely to be
