Sparkling world class badminton was again enjoyed by Hongkong enthusiasts yesterday when the unofficial World Champion, Wong Peng- soon, and his three Malayan top-ranking teammates opened their Hong- kong series of exhibition matches at the newly-constructed Macpherson Playground.

Despite atrocious weather conditions, the visitors put up an excellent show. Their almost perfect control of the shuttle enabled them not only to nullify to a great extent the effects of heavy cross-winds but also to adapt their play to the conditions.

Tomorrow's Chances At The Valley

By “RAPIER”

The Hongkong Jockey Club's Fifth Race Meeting of the season will be hold over two consecutive Saturday afternoons, the first tomorrow and the second on December 12,

Each afternoon's programme will consist of eight events, with a change in the time of starting.

The best event tomorrow is the Galway Handicap while on December 12 the Hongkong Autumn Champions and the Sports Club Jubilee Cup will form the main attraction.

Here are my estimates of the chances:
