As we draw closer to the Race Meeting interest in the perform- ance of the candidates becomes keener and Wednesdays and Satur- days at the course in the morning draw bigger and bigger attend- ances. That there are going to be a few upsets is certain. since the latest training performances reveal many changes in form. One of the most improved animal on the first half of the season's form is Gold Key. The pony is looking much "better than it has ever done, and may easily account for some of the more popular candidates.

The Craigengower's Junior team will have to pay more attention 10 their game this week end if they are going to win the championship of the junior division. They are meeting the Civil Service on their own ground and provided they can win that match they will secure the Championship. If they allow the Civil Service to win, then a play-off with the Bowling Green will be necessary, and the odds are that in that case, the Kowloon team will walk away with the match.

"Although it is now fully a week since Hyde Lay defeated Luz in the finals of the Singles Cham- pionship, this happens to be the first, opportunity that I have had of congratulating the K.C.C. player un his splendid performance. He played a level headed game and the importance of the occasion did not once tell on his nerves, as it obviously did on Luz, who gave about his worst display this season. They say that the standard of play at a final never reaches a high mark, and this was certainly true of this year's finals, since both players appeared distinctly off. In

I have stressed that this is a wholly amateur competition because I understand that the members of the Hong Kong Amateur Swimming Association are not likely to compete in the forth- coming sports. If this is so, their attitude is difficult to understand. as the V.R.C. sports are open to all and are strictly non-professional. They are promoting amateur swim- ming, and there seems to be 10 reason why an amateur association should see anything to object to in such a meeting.
