In making the selections for Monday I tipped" Oak Bay to beat King's Fancy in the Bohea Handicap. Oak Bay, however was held over for the "B" Class rose (Yangtase Handicap) and won that by a narrow margin from Bright Stär. It would be interesting to see Oak Bay matched with King's Fancy, as I am sure a rattling good race will be seen Inciden- tally now that Kings Fancy has won twice, he will be promoted to the "B" Class?

Mr. Alec Potts surprised race- goers with the confident way in which he handled the starter's job. I want to take this opportunity of complimenting him on the man-| ner in which he carried out his work. All the twenty starts in the two dogs were good, and no fair minded person can and fault with them. In the polo scurry, how- ever, where there was no gate, the ponies on the rails appeared from the grandstand, to succeed in get- a little sooner. than ting away. those away from the rails, I am sure though that the start made no difference to the result as Stickypast was too good for the others.

Mr. A. J. P. Heard scored a very popular win on Spinaway on Satur day in a very close finish. He had several mounts to chose from, viz, Daylight Eve and Lemberg, and the fact that be selected Spinaway in preference to these candidates made me nominate the pony as a likely winner. Mr. Heard has not had the best of luck this season and It is to be hoped that during the second half of the racing sea- son he will meet with more sve cess.

The novices race were quite ap interesting feature of the meeting. Mr. Tang Man Wah is undoubtedly asserting himself these days and It will not surprise me to see him out of the novice class by the end of this year. Messrs.

it is going to be the meeting when the $1 ticket on the. Juling Stakes will be decided. At the end of Monday over 252,500 tickets were sold and I am sure that between now and the race, another 10,000 will be taken up, so that at least two thirds will have been sold. Tickets can still be purchased at Messrs. Linstead and Davis and if you have not got your finger in the ple, go along and get some tickets.
