SILENCE

Armistice Day Observance In Hong Kong

STIRRING CEREMONY AT THE

CENOTAPH

As in former years, Armistice Day observation in the Colony took the form of special Church Services fol. lowed by the ceremony at the Cenotaph during which the immense crowd which had gathered to witness it, joined in the two minutes silence.

The sale of poppies in the streets of Hong Kong started at an early hour and a large sum was collected for Earl Haig's funds by the many pretty helpers who were to be seen everywhere... ·

"A charity football match during the afternoon be- tween the Services and the Rest of the Colony, at which His Excellency the Governor was present, was one of the means employed for collecting funds for the cause, while au auction at the K.C.C. on Saturday night together with other efforts in smaller clubs helped to swell general total.

·WORLD OPINION.

There were

miany pretty efforts and the gallop" of "Woodland Stag over a mile in 2.01 stands out as the best performance of the morning. Woodland Stag is in the five furlongs sprint for the best class" of Australian ponies and is sure to start a hot favourite for the race. His training form encourages his supporters.

Night Star is also entered for this race, but he bas been put to comparatively slow work. An interesting gallop ds that of Changte, an Australian pony which has not appeared in Hong Kong this year. Changte was the winner of the 1932 Sydney Maidens and Saturday's sprint event will sult him very well. He looks quite fit.

Brechin covered a very subdued mile, but he is in tip-top condition and will need a lot of watching. Pride of Tsingtao is moving very well just 'how and it will not surprise me to see him do well on Saturday. His time is very satisfactory: The fastest last quarter of the day was by Golden Dawn who finished a three-quarter mile gallop by covering the last quarter in 27.3.

Of the "B" Class Australians," Lucy Glitters went very well indeed to finish six furlongs in 1.30.3,

An interesting "gallop is that of Don, who, finished the last half mile of his gallop over a mile" in 1.01.1.
