Interesting Competitions Fixed For October 13

The Machine Gun Troop of the Hong Kong Volunteer De- ¿fence Corps are sparing no efforia to stage an attractive gym- khana on October 13 at the Polo Ground and preliminary Indica- tions are that their efforts will be rewarded with unapalified Success.

דיי.

A programme of mine events has been drawn up and the Committee have made novelty the keynote of the programme. As' however, some of the intending competiton, are not experienced riders: a couple of comparativelyexsy events have been embodied. In must not be assumed that only members of the Machine Gun Troop will be participating. The programme calls for events open to the public generally, and ladies and even children will be taking part. "Only one event will be confined entirely to mem- bers of the Machine Gun Troop.

who might do well in this line.
