AFTER A NEW WORLD RECORD

Typhoon "Kate" Started An Argument Which Is Still Unsettled

Says "NTACA”

When typhoon "Kate" blew near to Hongkong over the weekend, she did more than cause the postponement of the N'TACA Championship 100 miles Time Trial, She started an argument which is still unsettled-"When is it unsafe to race?"

The decision to postpone the event was only made after a lot of discussion, and was made mainly on the grounds of safety, Riding down to the start, I was blown right across the road on numerous occasions by fierce gusts of wind, and in the opinion of myself and most other people the Jay was definitely not safe for riding, particularly when the event was of such long duration.

Others held the view that a race should be "on" unless it was manifestly impossible to ride at all.

While we endeavour to hold alt our events as scheduled, we

Bousfield Is Most Improved Player In British Golf

It is 22 years since Britain's professional golfers have beaten the Americans in the Ryder Cup competition. In November, unter California's blue skies, they try again.

The team will be much the same as that which lost an exciting match on the lough Wentworth course two years ago. But there will be at least one change. And an important one. It brings in the most improved player in British golf. That man is Ken Bousfield.

CESAREWITCH STAKES

French Design And Romney Legend Are Joint Favourites

London, Sept. 27.

French Design and Romney Legend, both trained at Manton, Berkshire, by George Todd, were made 100 to 8 joint favourites for the Cesarewitch Stakes at the second cállover on the “Autumn Double” races at the Victoria Club here tonight.

Although beaten in a Césarewitch trial at Newmarket today, French Design was the better backed and was sup- ported to win £10,000. His stable companion, Romney Legend, was also beaten into second place in a Cesarewitch trial at Ascot last week.
