AS YOU LIKE IT WINS CHINESE NEW YEAR CUP
IN CONVINCING STYLE.
VILLAGERS. ENJOY CROSS-COUNTRY RACES.
(BY MORNING DEW.")
There was a good attendance yesterday at Kwanti when the Fanling Hust and Race Chub held their Chinese New Year Meet- ing. The weather was just ideal and the sport provided had sufficient variety in it to keep interest at a high level throughout. Favourites shared the day with outsiders, and although felds were on the small ride, the dividends were quite good.
Montana started a hot favourite for the Chinese New Year Cup, but the pony was well benten by As You Like It who ran very well indeed and won deservingly. The Cup was presented to the winner later by Mrs. L. Dunbar, who also gave away the Fox Hunters' Cups in both the Lightweight and the Heavyweight divisions.
The cross-country races were very much enjoyed by all and quite a large gathering of villagers from places near Kwanti turned up and watched the events from the hill tope. They enjoyed all the thrills and spills that were going and acemed to be as much concerned in. the sport as those in the grand staral.
were seen.
Several improvements in the ar
Stover rangement were provided, but happily the day proved to be warm and the stoves were consequently not much in de mand. Everything went with swing and because there were Fix races on the card instead of the usual five, there was no tedious waiting at the Fanling station for the mee train.
The band of the 1st Battalion, The Somerset Light Infantry, sup- plied an excellent selection of music Buring the afternoon.
THE RACING.
Fat Choy Stakes.
Five ponies faced the starter in the curtain raiser. November and Fanling Stag were joint favourites.
November took the lead early on followed by Grey Eyes and Failing Stag. November was two lengths ahead at the dip and led com- fortably 'n quarter mile from home, He won easily from Fanting Stag. Duke of Neilung was a poor third being closely followed by Grey Eyes. Bingo was altogether out of the picture...
Fox Hunter's Cup (Heavyweights). For the two miles cross-country race six ponies started.
Social Mark fell after the Dip, throwing Mr. Stanton.
Buster picked up ́n good deal of ground on Samaritan and Sunloch to win at the end by a length. Sunloch also got his head in front of Samaritan in the last stride

CASH SWEEPS.
About six months ago drilling operations were started in Boenjoc, and oil was first struck in October a depth of $50 of last year at metres. The production is estimat- ed at approximately 100 tons crude petroleum daily, and the oil is said to be of a lighter paraffin base thin that produced on Tarakan. The gusher, was temporarily closed at the time the well was drilled, as storage tanks were then not avail- able. The well in question is con- sidered to be a good one and not, as very often is the case, "dad" which yields oil for only few days or weeks and then fizzles out.
Road to the Coast.. Preparations are being made for the construction of a 7 kilometre roadway suitable for heavy motor (10-ton) traffe, leading from the oil field to a suitable shipping point on: the coast, where again a landing stage will be erected for the load- ing and discharging of cargo.
Great difficulty is at present being experienced with regard to the transportation of material to the oil field, the present shipping centre on the Soengel Boenja (Crocodile. The result of the Cash Sweeps River) being both inadequate in its were as follows:-

STABBED ON DECK. DEMENTED MAN SUSPECTED OF SHIPBOARD CRIME.
The mysterious murder of a young young Chinese on the high seas is now puzzling the Singapore police and the officers of the ship itself.
The night was quiet, not a sound was heard and no one saw anything, but a man was found lying on the deck with a ghastly wound in his stomach..
The ship's doctor was called, but the man passed away in an hour's time. The body was brought into Singapore.
The steamer, the Michael Jebsen, 810 tickets:-Nos, 134, 162, 60, 195, anchored in the Singapore roads last week and the Marine Police were communicated with. Inspector Haxworth boarded the vessel and caused the body to be removed to the

DUTCH VIEW OF RUBBER SCHEMES.
NOT TAKING THE LEAD.
A QUESTION PRIMARILY FOR PRODUCERS.
BATAVIA, Jan. 24. The Government of the Dutch East, Indies has answered the request of section of the People's Council to state its attitude towards rubber restriction.
The Government declares that it is in principle agreeable to eventual restriction of rubber output for the purpose of reaching better prices provided that restriction is based on voluntary co-operation and is given a purely private character.
The Government has not taker an active part in this important problem because it primarily effects the producers of the interested countries. Thus Government action would give the question au undesir- able political character.
Furthermore, the Government so far sees no acceptable satisfactory solution which could be recommend. ed to the interested parties in the Netherlands Indies.
The Government will naturally pay every attention to eventual proposals from the producers' side, but does not consider it advisable to take the lead in negotiations.
The Government is also convinced of the necessity of the eventual pro- posals being based on a normal period in the past.
A similar question regarding tin restriction will be answered by the Government Inter-Straits Times.

In future, says the Straits Timen, the employment of children under 12 in any industrial undertaking will be forbidden, the age of a child being computed according to the European method of calculation.
