KEEN RACING AT THE

STRATHROY SETS NEW

RECORD

Mr. D.

Black's Three Firsts

Bright weather greeted racing fans yesterday when they turn- ed up for the second day of the Third Extra Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, when in contrast to Saturday's atten- dance a larger crowd was present to witness some close finishes.

The ladies too turned out in larger numbers in their bright Easter frocks and added a touch to the scene, while the course was in a better condition than on the first day which made travelling on it much faster, with the result that fast times were recorded, which culminated in Strathroy bettering the re- cord set up by Racing Heart for the One Mile 117 yards distance.. by 2.1/5 seconds in the Broken Hil`Handicap.

Expert riding was seen to good advantage on the day's sport. In the Boa Vista Handicap it is worthy of mention that Mr. L C. Harris en Boxing Ere did a nice bit of riding on the home stretch when he was strongly challenged by Ythan. With great presence of mind Mr. Harls gave Boxing Eve a breather for about four strides and then went on to win an excellent race by a short bead.

Dividends on the whole were moderate compared to Satur day's. There were no outstanding payments made with the ex- ception of the Daily Double which returned $81.70 to each of the 47 successful bacters of Honeymoon Eve and Boxing Eve com- bination. Cash Sweep dividends were also higher than these of Saturday's.

Some of the handicaps given yesterday needed more con- sideration. More care should be taken in handicapping ponies and in a handicap race a pony has no right to win by several lengths; covering the fleld at the finish with the proverbial sheet is what one likes to see.

Mr. Donald Black crowned a successful day's work by return- ing three firsts, a œcond and a third, while Mr. W. H. S. Davis made his return felt on the turf by coming in first twice and a third once with Mr. H. C. Pih coming next with one first, one second and a third, while Mr. L. C. Harris was able to return a first and three thirds,

MODERATE DIVIDENDS

SUGAR LOAF HANDICAP In contrast to Saturday's racing weather a dry wind with a weak sun greeted the moderate atten- dance at the commencement. The track was on the hard side and all seven starters accepted the

race.

up from the

rear.

At the last quarter Amberley and Dawn Star shot out to the front. and a titanic struggle ensued. It was a very close nish as these
