STEEPLECHASE.
GRAND NATIONAL MEETING.
PROGRAMME FOR MARCH-
24th. vfl
The following is the programme Grand for the Fraling Hunt
Sunday, National Meeting," on March 24th
1-3 pm March Best Stakes' Once Round, Inside Course.
Winner $100; 2nd $50. For China panies. Winners at Kwanti this season of more than two races
barred. Catch-weight at 170
-Spring Plate.
About 14 Miles on National Course.
It was rather a pity that the Entry $5- break in the weather spoiled the course for the third day's events, otherwise, I am sure, we should have seen some of our existing re- cords go by the board. However, the meeting has proved a very memorable one from every point of view and especially as regards the Subscription Grifina events when unusually larger fields faced the starter on every occasion..
There were far fower upsets than RAF..usual although in some of the events Re dividenda were fairly good when
favourites were beaten..
Division II. (Kick-off at 2.30 p.m.) St. Joseph's . Queen's Regt. Res, St. Joseph's ground. Referee: Mr. Rider. R.A. Res. v. K.0.8.B. Res., Soo- kunpoo ground. Referee: Mr. Critchett.. South China "B"
Caroline Hill · ground. feree: Mr. Gibbons. Kowloon F.C. Res. e. Royal Navy
Res., Kowloos. F.C. ground. Relerce E. R. A. Anderson." Eastern F.C.. China Athletic Res., H.K.F.C. ground. Te fared: A. B. Hatwell. The R.A. will now play the K.0.8.B, instead of the Hong Kong Police. This game is scheduled for the St. Joseph's ground, but with Soakumpoo ground being vacant, this game may be transferred to the Garrison ground.
Somo excellent racing should be seen this afternoon and there are quite a number of good ponics who have still to win their race.
|
Shanghai jockeys are still with us and with the large number of local jockeys at the meeting sport should be equal to the other days.
The most interesting event will be the Subscription Grifin Champions over a mile and a quarter for which I predict & win for the Pheasant. The event was won last year by Dumphries who as Mongolian Stag has performed most disappointingly throughout the meeting. The Sun who has run to form throughout the meeting will be the biggest danger. King Falloch should run well it PLAYERS AND PROSPECTS. started and John Peel's candidate
should also do well.
The time for kicking off in each division has been put "back 13 minutes.
The crowd will be on the Hong Kong F.C. ground to-day where the Chinn Athletic meet the Royal Navy. The Navy having being go- ing strong in recent games and with the Athletic in good form, a fine
scen. should be
China Kame Athletic will be out to nanex the points and strengthen their posi tion for League champions. The Navy bave a wide selection and should field a side able to beat the Athletic.
South China are due at 'Caroline Hll against the Club de Recreio. The visitors will be at full strength and a fast game should be scen. South China bend the league table and will do their utmost to remain there.
The game between the Kowloon and Hong Kong Clubs should be interesting and attract a large num ber of supporters. This fixture is always a keen one and on present form, Kowloon should win.
The RA. will be at home to the K.O.S.B. on St. Joseph's ground
The K.Q.S.B. were due, to meet the Police to-day but owing to the latter team having left for Shang- hai, the R.A. steps into the gap.
Great rivalry exists on the soccer field between these teams and to- day's game should be a keen one. On form the Borderers should get .. home.
1
The Small Units game, with the Queen's Regt. is postponed.
The Juniors.
With the juniors there are several interesting games. The Navy meet Kowloon on the Bailway ground and a good struggle should end with the Navy on top. At Sookun- poo, the K.O.8.B. should be too strong for the R.A.
The Queen's Regt. should take the points from St. Joseph's although the margin should be a small.obe.
The Athletic juniors should ae. count for Eastern on the H.K.F.C. azd ground... South China B' R.A.F. should play a fast game with the home team taking the points.
The Small Units game with South China "A" is postponed.
HONG KONG FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.
POLICE TEAM GRANTED A CONCESSION.
In the absence of Mr. Hall, yesterday afternoon's meeting of the council of the LE Football Association was presided over by As it was not Mr. Ormiston, possible to complete the balance sheet relating to the income and expenditure in connection with the Interport Matches in time for the meeting, it was announced that the statement of accounts would be do- ferred until the next meeting.

As the handicaps are not as yet to hand I am afraid it will be a difficult matter to pick the winner of the Tytam Handicap, and the Hong Kong Handicap.

to
Reorganisation.
The chairman then remarked that for some time past it, the general feeling among the members had been that the Association required re-organisation. Bules were prac tically non-existant and he thought they should make themselves up date. The Association had written to the Shanghai and Tien- tsin Associations for their Rules, bat had not received a reply so far, and he suggested that the best thing to do was to form à Committee of six or seven to go into the matter thoroughly. In conclusion he asked for suggestions.

Mr. Sewell proposed that the League competition be confined to one team only from each club for each division Mr. Miskin second- el and the proposal was carried,
The most important matter before the meeting was the consideration of the scoring, etc. in the League matches, and after many sugges tions had been put forward, it was decided to adopt a new system on the motion of Mr. Sewell seconded by Dr. Tottenham.
Under the new arrangement thres pairs will still represent each club in one division, but instead of meeting the opposing paita in eleven games each, each pair will meet the opposing pairs. in one set puly, so that a match would be decided on the best of nine seta.
A suggestion to play best of three sels, the strongest pair to meet the corresponding opposing pair, the second best and the opposing second best, and likewise the third pair did not meet with support, while another suggestion to extend the met of 11 games to one of 15 games was also rejected on and a
