TWO RECORDS LOWERED IN
FIRST DAY'S RACING.
KING'S BOUNTY WINS MAIDENS: PICALLILI BEATEN BY A SHORT HEAD.
PRESIDENT HALL TAKES THE FOOCHOW CUP AND BEATS SITTING BULL.
RESULTS AND FULL DETAILS OF SATURDAY'S
[BY MORNING DEW."]
RACING.
Saturday's racing at Happy Valley was attended by an unusually large crowd even for the annual meeting. The weather was glorious, and, added to this, the admirable accommodation for the public and members at the new grandstands, the big fields, the keen finishes, and a fair sharing of honours between outsiders and favourites, minds a day's' sport thoroughly enjoyable.
Two recorda were lowered. As predicted Apollo had no difficulty in beating the local record for five furlongs. In the Foochow Cup, President Hall accounted for Sitting Bull by a length and a half, and, incidentally, reduced the record for the mile and a half by more than a second-a notable performance.
The principal event for the day fell to Mr. Dynasty, whose King's Bounty won the Maiden Stakes. Pisallifi, who had a bad start, was a good second, ranning King's Bounty to within a short head at the close. The Valley Stakes, the principal event for subscription griffins, fell to Mr. Ho Kom Tong's Bridge Hall, who best several favourites.
Wisdom Stag, one the Derby favourites, accounted for a number of Derby "hopes "in The Hopeful Stakes. Among the defeated (and unplaced) candidates were The Tiger and African Eve. The former is not definitely out of the Derby yet, as the mile race is a bit too short for. him.

The course was in perfect condition, the guing was very good, and, apart from the records, the times were on the fast side. The fields, especially in races confined to subs, were so big that the starter had great difficulty in getting the ponies away in a line. Several good ponies were victims of bad starts.
