RACING.

BY "NOMAD"

The series of upsets at Happy Valley and the unexpected defeat of favourile after favourite made the racing on Saturday extremely

interesting. Looking back now,

It is difficult to say which was the biggest surprise of the afternoon. Perhaps the victory of Don over several well tried ponies in the "B" Class was the most sensation- al, for during the whole second half of this season Don had been unable to give any sort of a per- formance against panies like The Tiger,

Valorous, Mayflower, etc. He not only won the race on Saturday, but cut out the fastest mile ever registered in his career. Another surprise was the success of Tillicum over- Alexandra Hall The latter pony ran so well in the

race

against Brechin over six furlongs a fortnight before that he appeared a moral certainty, but Alexandra Hall apparently does sot like carrying weight and be- fore the race was half over it was obvious that, he was not going to win.

A SUGGESTION

Lucy Glitters and Evening Star had things all their own way in the race for Australian Donles and the heavier weights carried by the "A" Class ponies proved too

Cranmer (St. Edward's), who seems certain of a Rugby blue this term and almost equally certain of cricket blue before he goes down. Last spring Cran- mer was by far the best hurdler in the public schools, and ran 120 yards over 3-ft. 3-in. hurdles in 16 4-5sec., a remarkable perform- ence for a boy. If the Q.U.A.C. can catch him next term before he graduates into international football, well and good; otherwise he may be lost to them, as was W. F.

In the sec- ond half, with one of the Navy ordered off, it looked like the Bank of England to a packet of pea nuts that South China would win, but the Navy showed so much more dash in their play that they not only equalised but actually led, and it was not until the very last moments of the game that South China managed to send in equaliser.
