The second day of the Sixth Extra Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club was held yesterday under ideal conditions. 'Although the attendance was not as good as could be desired owing to counter attractions those who were present were amply com- pensated by the excellstice of the racing and the handsome dividends which were returned in some of the races.

Mr. G, U. da Raza, who rode so convincing- ly on the first day, did not succeed in backing up my prediction that he would head the jockey list. Mr. R.-H. Charles who was seen out in the Eve stable coloura and had the satisfaction of bringing 'home a winner for his joss stable." Mr. Charles was the most

succesful jockey with two wins and two thirds to his credit.

Mr. Backhouse and Mr. Lee, two of our novics riders, succeed- ed in winning one race each, while the more experienced riders, Messrs. Wong, Roza, Harriman, and Stanton succeeded in winning the other races.

The Governor of Macao's candidato Felo:, ridden by Mr. G. U da Roza, was defented by a very small margin in the Bonham Handicap and received the plaudits of the spectators as he waS being led in by the Governor's daughter,
