The Happy Valley looked its best under brilliant sunshine which brought out the beautics of the surrounding verdant hills and flasked back from the innumerable buanors and banting that decked the pavilions on the Race course. Long before the commencement of the duy's sport the roads leading to Happy Valley bere streams of people eastwards. Europeane made their way to the course in all sorts of con- reyances—rickeha1, chairs, gigs, sud bicycles; while thousands of Chinese travelled on foot, beguiling the journey by occasional sojournings at the roadsido stalls loaded with delica cios sob as delight the Celestial heart. The Racasourse itself looked well. Since last Mooting the Jockey Club have carried out extensive improvements that met with complimentary comment on all hands. Most notionable of these is the hand. some new building just inside the gates, erected for the Becommodation of the Pari-urutuel and the provision of additional stands.. It was ples- sant to notice, too, the absence of an old acquain- tance, the unsightly nallah thut formerly carried ita turgid stream in front of the Grand Stand. Now this eyesore has been covered over, thus enhancing the appearance of the place and adding considerably to the stea available for

The only thing that marred the day was clouds of dust risen by a rather unpleasant breeze. Had the place boon watered things would have been more comfortable.

To describe the decorations individually of all those would take up too much space; they wore all gay, there being no stint of bunting, groenery, and dowers. The numeroas matsbeds included dining rooms run by the Hongkong Hotel, the King Edward

Hotel, and the Connaught House Hotel.

The first race, tho Wong hoi chong Stakes, brought out a field of 19 starters. A ding-dong race resulted in a win for Chautauqua, a horso owned the AmericanÍ Chinos Development Co., who are connected with the new Fatsha Bailway. Mr. Johnstone brought in Os Canny second. The Maiden Stakos was won rather easily by Discovery, sozond place falling to Mr. Buzey's stable. In the Valley Stakes there were twenty starters, and the surprise of the day was the victory of Panjandeum, with the owner, Mr. Dowding, up. Disclosure was a good second. In connection with this race it may be mentioned that the winner had only one backer in the Pari-mutuel. It is said he backed it in mistake for another horse; he lifted the magni- Bicont sum of over $1,200. In the Victoria Stakes Tho Pals' Huros, with Mr. Master up, got the beat of a close finish, with Algerine second. For the Foochow Cup a field of seven waters, entared.
