The weather on Saturday afternoon was ideal for the opening of the second half of the season's racing, under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club.

The attendance was a good deal smaller than usual; and. the takings at the cash sweeps and totalisators "suffered in consequence.

Despite the recent heavy rains, the going was good and the comparatively slow times are to be attributed to most of the candidates being a bit backward. Next meeting should show a decided im provement in this respect.

His Excellency, the Governor and a party from Government House arrived in time to witness the third" race and remained until the end.

Sir Claud Severn was also among those prescat, but unfortunately none of the fruit stable" ran into a place, though Jambu was well backed to win the penultimate event."..

*

By kind permission of Lieut-Col b. S. Montague Bater, C.B., CMG, D.S.O., and Officers, the Band of the 1st Battn., The East Surrey Regiment, was present throughout the afternoon and added much to the pleasure of all in the stands, before racing commenced

and between each event.

With the exception of Rothesay, form worked out much as I anticipated.

In the first event, Grey Streak was pronounced favourite and from the mo- ment he took the lead at the foot of the hill, he ran his race out gamely to the gud. Nygge, who got away badly, also finished gamely, in the hands of Mr. Reidy, and got within 1 lengths of the winner The last quarter was covered in *33.3-5.
