SOCIETY

Mondays & Thursdays, 10-12, 11, Ice House Street:

The December". Handicap, the first event of the day, is a mile race for China Penies; winners of $2,250.00 or more in stakes since Jan. 1st, 1936, and "A" Class Ponies barred. Wild Life (Frost), will be carrying top weight but as the opposition is not too strong, the chances of this combination are very good. Bright View (Y. T. Fung) and Pontiac Bay (Ip Kui Ying) will probably occupy the re- maining places; the former being exceptionally dangerous if the going a soft. I do not think New Star will start here as the Tardy Handicap later in the day should be a better prospect for this bay pony, King's Justice (S. C. Liang). King's Sceptre (Norman Deltz) and Tyne (Black) will be the other acceptances.

THE QUEENSLAND CHAMPIONS

The Queenstand Champlons for Australian Puntes of any season. winners at Extra Race Meetings only. will be run next. The mile and a quarter should be covered at top speed, with the old rivals Strathroy (Black) and Electron (Deltz) fighting out the issue, though it seems as t Mr. Mac- Gregor's candidate will add an- other victory to the numerous successes already achieved. I can- not see any of the other qualified ponies getting within striking dis- tance of the above couple. Ranger (Ralph) should occupy the minor position, but a bad start may prove his undoing. Perfect Day (8. C. Liang), I understand, will also start. If this stable also decides to send Derby Day to the post, the race will certainly be fought out at a cracking pace and it would not surprise me to see the record beaten

The Tardy Handicap. for "O" Class China Ponies, winners of $1.- 000 or more in stakes since Jan: 1st, 1938, barred, looks a.good. thing for New Star (Y. T. Fung), as this bay is in excellent condi- tion at the moment. King'» Boun- ty, 168 lbs., will be in the capable hands of Mr. H'M. Plh bit the weight will be too much. The Tiger (Frost) and Boldler of China (8. Y. Liang) should be prominent.

leg of the Daily Double and the field will probably be the largest of the day. Double Finesse (E. C. Pih, should give Holiday Eve a close run, with Bobniak Star (S. C. Liang) as the next best. Bland- ford (W. G. Poy) is the best out- Racing sider, in iny opinion.. Heart (Black), Saucy Face (R. M Pih), Bag Tor (Ralph), Snowy River (Ip Kul Ying), Honey and Hercules, will also accept.

"There will be a very small feld for the Sub-Griffins Champloris and the favourite Rose Evelyn (Deitz) should finish the season with another classic win. Wid Cat (8. Y. Liang) has come on

Curle when he spoke at the ann- ual dinner of the Edinburgh Sk Walter Scott Club in the North British Station Hotel, Edinburgh, recently, according to the "Glas, gow Herald." Dr. Curle proposed the toast of "The Memory of Sir Walter Scott."

Scott's characters, he said, with their infinite variety, were alive, fresh, and vigorous." The Life Scott's readers came in touch with was clean and wholesome. There were no troublesome sex problems, and everywhere there were wells of humour gushing out of the way side to refresh.

"One "wonders what Sir Walter 'would say about ·Edtbürgh as it is now," said Lord Robertson, who proposed the toast of ""The City of Edinburgh." “What' changes would Scott see or good or 11?

"On the whole, I think he would give his blessing to the chan- gea he saw in the Old Town. The Shrine would have his whole- nearted approval.

“I am afraid, however, that he would not like Princess Street with its sadly jumbled architecture. But looking at the Castle Rock, he would see that the more Edinburgh charges the more it remains the "The, younger generation do not same." read Scott as they did when the Lord Provost Gumley, in reply- Waverley novels were pouring ing, said that the Town Council from the press, and we need hard-was not unaware of the need for

falls at the critical moment in a race. With 5 lbs. off the handicap weight of 150 lbs., it would be in- teresting to note how this pony will run, especially. if ridden from the back of the field. Don (H. C. Pih) is worth an outside bet.

The last race of the day, the Finale Plate. is a six furlongs sprint for "E" Class China Ponles and subs of this year that have not won more than $1,500 or more in stakes: and to be ridden by Novice Jockeys. I like the chances of Hopscotch (Foy) as this bay did an excellent gallop last Satur- day morning. Cassius (Chor Wing Chiu) and Shamrock (Gre- gory) should be placed.
