THIRD EXTRA RACE MEETING.

לי ::

COOS BAY ANNEXES EASTER PLATE.

MR. SETH WINS HEBE PLATE IN EXCELLENT STYLE.

MANY EXCITING RACES.

{BY CASH SWEEPS.]

Favoured by ideal weather conditions the second day of the third extra race meeting was successfully carried out. There was a fair attendance in the stands at the first saddling bell, and the crowd gradually got bigger during the course of the day.

Yesterday's racing saw rather small fields but there were some most exciting finishes Mr. H. Seth rode an excellent rage in a feld of three and won the Hebe Plate quite comfortably.

Coos Bay, with Mr. G. U. di Raza up. won the Easter Plato in good style. This race was very well ridden and keenly contest. ed, San Diego and Pickle fought strenuously at the last stretch for second honour and when nearing the winning post, San Diego enme within a neck of Coos Bay

Mr. R. H. Charles had an off say yesterday. He rode in many races, but he was unable to assert his old form. In the last race, he started off well on San Francisco, but had the ill luck to break his rein "when nearing home?

over Several members of the Japanese Fleet, who are on a short visit here, were guests to the Hong Kong Jockey Club yesterday. They appeared to be quite engrossed in the races, and one was heart to say in Japanese that racing in Japan with Arabian ponies, up hill and down dale, was less exciting than the contests of the - diminutive Chinese ponies.

RAPIER'S TIPS.

Mr. Rapier has said farewell to his readers, but I must point out that several of his tips for yesterday's racing proved to be right. In the first race. he tipped Boxing Eve to win and Winsome Stag for a place. These two ponies justified themselves. In the " Fourth race he tipped San Diego for a win and Coos Bay for second. The order was only just reversed. The same was seen in the eighth race when he marked down Tarzan and Erstwhile and "the order of their coming in was just reversed.

"The Biggest Field Of The Day. The biggest field of the day was in the fifth race when 19 ponios left the paddock. As You Like It won the race after overtaking Fire Call

Boxing Eve started out in the first race in a field of four. Wip. some Stag followed closely but com- ing to the bend by the Civil Service Club, the latter fell behind a bit.

'Four Sandy Macs please'

For many years had the Four Cronies of the Exclusive Club led the fashion in drinks, calling for their "Scotchs" and "Scotchs and Sodas.”

Insomuch that when a Tall Tanned Stranger called for "Sandy Mac," whiskers wagged, papers rustled, and. eyebrows rose among the Four.

Until they marked the way he drank. And observed the deference of George who served it.

Thereafter they whispered with George. Then amongst themselves. Later the senior Crony-a Purple Colonel called in a clear voice "Four Sandy Macs, please." Somen leard.
