LIBERTY LAY THE
THE UNBEATABLE A TRUE CHAMPION
Mud-Larking At The Vallev
with the second position till the llome stretch when Dawn Star after following in the rear came up strongly' on the streich to win a fine race by three and a hall lengths. Amberley raced well to obtain second place by displacing Tyne the favourite.
THE NORTHERN STAKES
MR. FROST'S GREAT DAY The Northier: Stakes attracted
Several surprises were create: yesterday at the fourth day of the Annual Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club when once again the track was rain sodden due to the heavy showers. Superb horsemanship won the day when in several close finishes the "outsiders" ably backed up by their Jockeys romped home: ahead of the favourites and paid quite handsomely.
Attendance was only moderate compared to the first two days. Fields were small and in several races only three ponies faced the starter and in the case of ane only two, when "backers of Royal Scot were sadly disappointed in backing him for the "Daily Double." Mr. Frost on Boolat Bay caused a minor sensation by bringing the pony home ahead of Royal Scot.
The Ladies' Parse attracted only four starters and Mr. T. L. Wong on Cossack's Beauty ran home an easy winner. Prior to the tiffin Interval Miss Yvonne Shenton presented the purse to the winning fockey and Mr. Wong then escorted her to tiffin.
In the Champion Stakes Liberty Bay proved its superiority by winning the event in grand style. Mr. Frost once "again rode a great race when he piloted the "mount home many lengths ahead of King's Warden with Macaroni taking the third place.
Dividends on the whole were small due to the poor field. However 109 punters were rewarded for their foresight when they backed Young Chap to win in the Northern Stakes which pald $119.50 apiece. Warrington also created a surprise by running The third to Young Chap and paid its 44 backers, $64.20 each. other dividend of note was the $50.70 paid for a win on Royal Highness when Mr. Cheape ably brought the pony home ahend of its 14 other starters in the Jockey Cup.
Mr. Leo Frost, local champion jockey, crowned a successful day's work by annexing four firsts. two seconds and two thirds on ten mounts, a no mean feat, while Mr. T, L. Wong had a first, two seconds and a third with Messrs. V. V. Needs and J. Pote- Hunt each claiming a first, a second and a third,
SEVERAL BENEFICIAL

The track did not seem to be in any better shape than the previous day. Though the patches of water have' disappeared the muddy part ol it still remain in consequence of which going

it right maintained through although on the stretch Celebration Time came up beauti- fully to challenge Hopscotch. Mr. Marshall however pushed his mount ahead to win by a neck While Stopwatch took third place. THE GRAND STAND STAKES Only three ponies were entered for The Grand Stand Stakes, Bear Claw got off to a good start and left Royal Consort lengths behind. Although Royal Consort zied its best to catch up, the earlier deficit was too much for him and on the stretch Mr. Harriman urged Royal Consort on but to no avail. Mr. Frost rode Bear Claw nicely to clinch the victory with Forest View tuking third place many lengths behind.

THE LADIES' PURSE
Victoria Hall and Rousseau. The 777. Backers on Harvest View were sadly disappointed when it failed
15 starters. Warrington set a hot pace followed by Double Chance and Belmont Star. Tiny Star moved up to fifth position as Bistre took first fourth place at the half mile. Round the quarter mile! bend Warrington was in the lead with Bistre moving up to third. On the stretch Yoang Chap an- swered the call of its rider Mr. Pih gamely and gradually went ahead
