A number of passengers including about

a dozen European golfers travelled by this train which left Kowloon on time.

The train stopped for about half an hour, at Taipo and for about the same time at Fanling and arived at Shoung Shui at 19.15 4. almost an hour late.

At first blush one is struck with the crushing weights allotted to Beldorney Star and Two Fairs in the Kilmarnock "B" class, and to Grey Morn and Saligia (by implication) in the Troon Handicap.

TRAFFIC MISHAPS.

SEVERAL WEEK-END ACCIDENTS.

There were several motor mishaps during the week-end. Early on Sunday morning, a coolie who was carrying milk and eggs was knocked down by a motor- car on Praya East. He was uninjured," but was so angered at the loss of his goods, that he created a scene. At the police-station the Chinese driver paid *5 -- as compensation to the irate coolic.

The front mudguard and the heri lamps of a bus were damaged in Yaumati on Saturday, when a P.W.D. motor-lorry," emerging from Shantung Street, crashed into it.

Slight damage was caused and no ona was injured when two cars collided on the Praya East on Saturday.

The same day, a Chinese cyclist was taken to the Kwong Wah Hospital suffer- ing from severe injuries caused through his bicycle colliding with a lamp post at the junction of Canton and Austin Roads, Kowloon.
