DAY OF BIG DIVIDENDS.

PRINCIPAL EVENTS,

TOM WINS MAIDENS: "DUNBAR" GRIFFINS

DISAPPOINT ON FIRST DAY'S RACING.

[By "MORNING DEW."]

The result of the first day's racing at the 193! Annual Meet- ing was productive of a number of surprises and favourites on the whole find a very lean time.

In the griffins class, the Maiden Stakes and the Hopeful-Staken Tell to outsiders, Mr: Stanton's Tom accounting for the former and Mr. Li The Foug's Gold Key coming home in the Intter. Both paid handsame dividends to their apportera.

In the subscription griffina class, Messrs, Hall and Shenton scored a double with The Quail and The Grouse by accounting for both the Wong Nei. Cheong and the Valley Stakes. The vic- tories of these panics were as surprising as they were popular.

Diana Bay, as predicted, stated, in the Foochow Cup and ́ made the remainder of the field jook like sellingplaters. Ho paid a very lean" dividend to his supporters, but it was not so small as the dividend paid by, Apollo, who accounted for the China Stakes in effortless fashion.

The race for Australian ponies was productive of some real speed, The much-fancied Kilren was beaten by Woodland Stag by. 'n length after a gruelling finish and Wattle took third place three

Place three further lengths behind.

Honours were fairly evenly spread among the jockeys, Mr. Quingey accounting for two wins and a third. Mr. Frost won twice and five other jockeys had winning mounts.

Nerves

The

debilitated nerves take up Sanatogen as the parched earth drinks in water."

-in these words a well-known physician in his book "Nerve Energy" describes the action of Sanatogen,

Every single particle of Sanatogen is greedily absorbed by the blood stream and, without any waste, forms new "nerve-strength and vigorous energy.

This remarkable influence of Sanatogen is based on strictly logical facts. Sanalogen gives the body the exact proportion of those elements glycero-phosphate and albumin-from which nature builds up a Insting store of health and strength.

And the resulta?-even after a few weeks you will notice a wonderful improvement in your health. Over 24,000 physicians recommend Sanatogen in writing; hun. dreds of thousands of satisfied users testify to the value of Sanatogen. It will make you feel fit and fresh whère formerly you felt listless and fatigued-your appetite will improve you will once more enjoy sound, healthy sleep.

Give Sanatogen a trial-every Chemist

or Stores stocks it.
