But for a magnificent display of goalkeeping by Yong Pui-dor it would have been necessary to collect the scoreboard from Chater Road to keep tally of the Rest's net finding. The single digit board at Caroline Hill would surely have proved inadequate.

During the season it was a common sight when

Eastern were in action to

The Hongkong Jockey Club's Twelfth (Whitsun) Race Meeting will be continued today at the Valley and, with the weather remaining fine at the moment there are indications that the last day of the 1955/56 racing season will again draw a large holiday crowd of racing fans.

The Essex Handicap for Class 2 Ponies over the mile will form the malh attraction in a programme of twelve events and keen racing should be the order of the day.
