HONG KONG "RACES.
HEAVY GOING RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY UPSETS.
BOXING EVE BADLY BEATS BIG BUNGLERS.
[Br. EARLY BIRD.]
The first day of the Hong Kong Jockey Club's fifth 'extra race meeting was decided last Saturday under mos: unfavourable conditions Owing to the intermittant ran it was quite obvious to those who were on the course carly that a "wretched track would be the result of the heavy downpour,
Rain continued to fall as Mr. Sutton gave permission for the jockeys to mount for the first race and the onlookers from their cony points of vantage realized as the ponics performed their preliminary canters past the stand that the riders and their game little mounts were in for a regular gruelling as the water which splashed from beneath the ponies hoofs clearly indicated the condition of the track.

One Third, who was considered to have a chanco by a certain few, proved a terrible disappointment and was only saved from utter disgrace by reason of the fact that Boxing Eve was eased off so early in the race, which enabled him to make up sufficient ground to allow de- of his being credited with a feat of only six lengths.
San Siego's connections must ap- Bais-preciate the fact that he was the luckiest porry on earth when he accounted for the Second Aggregate Stakes and I have no doubt they will recognize the futility of run- ning him again in this particular event when these are other races which are productive of better results.

At the post Mr. Fiddes Wilson endeavoured to the best of his ability to get the Geld away early but his kindly efforts on behalf of the riders were somewhat marred "by the inability of the novice riders to move into line. After a
up somewhat tagged beginning the field of 13 runners settled down and prominent amongst the leaders were Härtene, Faaling Stag and Duke of Nieblung. At the rock Westake ably ridden by Mr. Chun began to improve his position with Harlène and Ace of Spades out of the rate for keeps. Zin now came into the picture and joined West lake in an effort to run down Fanling Stag who although well in front was obviously very shaky. Westlake finally overhauled the favourite and ran on to win with "Zin just held off in third place.

THE NEW AMATEUR CHAMPION
WETHERED BEATEN IN
FINAL.
R. H. Wethered, the AmazeUY Champion of 1923, has failed to repeat his success in the Champion- ship, being beaten in the 30 hofs fins! by T. Perkins of Castle Brom wich by 4 and 4. Both had ecsy victories in their semi-final matches, Perkins beating D. Tulloch by 0 and 5, and Wethered winning from E. Tipping by 4 and 3.
This victory, coupled with his previous performances, marks out the new champion as a consistently fine player of real class, who should be of the greatest assistance in the coming Walker Cup matches. Last year he won the English Native Amateur Championship, and this year he reached the final in the same event, only to lose by the narrow margin of 3 and 2 to J. Stout of Bridlington; ..

The first results of the Interport betweed Shanghai and Hong Kong now in progress at Shanghai are to hand and show successes for the home side in all matches.

FERRIS' FOURTH WIN.:
A RECORD ACHIEVEMENT.
(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY,]
The Polytechnic Harriers Open Marathon Race from Windsor to London was run on Saturday. The race, which finishes with one lap of the Stamford Bridge Track, covers a distance of 28 miles, 385 yards:
There were 83 starters, and the first three home were:-
J. Ferria (R.A.F.) 2 hrs. 41 2.1-5. 8. Jones (Cambridge Harriers} 2 hrs. 50 30.9.0.
H. Bignall (Highgate Harriers) 9 hrs. 53 4.3-5.
This is Ferris' fourth consecutive win in the event, and this wonder- ful performance constitutes a record for the race.

First, second and third ponies were tipped by me in Saturday's selections. The Duke of Burgundy piso started but was hopelessly out- classed and on his running I shall expect to see him relegated to "B" Class when next bandicapped Blackstone Hall one of the most improved ponies since the big meet ing won in effortless fashion. Wong allowed Fifty Fifty and Caesar to make the running for him till well into the straight where after deciding to make his run the rails be changed his mind and splitting the leaders came through to win comfortably by three lengths.

As in the previous race the ponies ran as selected by me. How two auch wide awake jockeys a Mr. Reidy and Mr. Wong should allow themselves to be caught napping is hard to understand. Mr. Charles positively left them standing and whatever chance either of these jockeys thought they had of mak: ing a race of it just faded away when Boxing Eve bounded out and established a land which carried him over the first quarter in 23 seconds to pass the half mile post
