LAST MEETING OF SEASON.

WHO WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONS?

(BY EARLY-BIRD.]

The Hong Kong Jockey Club have provided a special treat for their patrons this week-end, when the last meeting of the current season will be decided at Happy Valley.

In the desire to get a return for money expended on their none too profitable charges, owners have entered their ponies liberally in the hopes of being able to pick up a stake or two in order to compensate for the past losses.

The “A," "B" and "O" Divisions of the Glasgow Ha.di. esps will be the best supported fields of the day and the Lanark Handicap B Class should also produce a good field. The "A" Class mile will probably be a washout and may only consist of two ponies, unless some of the owners decide to go to the pest in two events which is more than likely.

The classic event of the meeting will probably bring out three ́ ́ candidates and if I am not mistaken a rattling good contest will be the resu.

...

The last race, which is a mile event for ponies who have nät wee this year, should provide à field of seven cr- eight runners and as this event is confined to novice, ridere anything may happen.

The Officer Administering the Government, the Hon. Mr. W. T: Sopthorn, C.M.G,, will be present and will be at home to the members of the Hong Kong Amatour Dramatic Club, who appeared in their last production. "The Sport of Kings." -

He is now the property of Mr. Tester and Abrahams and I wish them the best of luck with their new purchase.
