Excellent racing was had on Saturday at the Valley when the First Extra Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club was held which provided many sensations and thrilling finishes.

The weather was not too unkind and although attendance was moderate the sports had could be considered as being much above the usual standard. Finishes were close and exciting and punters on the whole had a very successful day considering the fact that out of the nine races favourites were, beaten in st least five of them,

The disqualification of Macaroni and the suspension of its rider, AI, Y. T. Fung from participating in racing for the "first half of the racing season, created quite a stir. Mr. Fung was suspended due to a protest lodged by the Dunbar Stable when in the "All Ont" Stakes Macaroni bored into Mistake Bay on the stretch which was considered dangerous riding.

Dividends on the whole were quite satisfactory. Mr. Delta returned the highest dividend of the day when he piloted Copper Idol home first in the "Hay and Corn" Stakes to pay his 80 backers $62.10 each for a win. The next best dividend was re- corded by Snowy River in the last race when he pald $42.40 for a win to 234 backers. Only 62 punters were successful in backing the second leg of the Daily Double and were each rewarded with $61.70.

Black second with two firsts, one second and one third and Mr. H. C. Pih with two firsts. A notable absentee was Mr. I G. Frost who was prevented from riding due to indis- position.

His Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, accom- panied by Capt. 'W. J. R. Cragg, A.D.C., and Mr. J. H. B. Lee (Private Secretary) were also at the races.
