SATURDAY'S MEETING

One blessing, it was fine for the Races. But I have come to the conclusion that racing is as tire some a game as golf; every time you feel you are getting better you have a really bad day, just to discourage you. Saturday was certainly one for me. I arrived too late to back my first "Hunch's (Rosy Morn) and the the paid a hundred odd dollars wasted five dollars on Don on a stable tip, and another five on Spotted Butterfly.

LOVELY CHINESE DRESSES There were so many people at the Races despite the many counter: attractions, and I never in my life saw such lot of pretty Chinese Woman at the same time. The dresses they wore were the last word in chic, and the way in which they carry themselves is eloquent testimony to the fact that Miss China of to-day is not the same person as her sister of, say 1923.

It took me some time to decide who wore the most attractive dress but I finally gave my vote to: HAPPY FACES.
