DISCUSSED

(Continued from Page 1)

The Sassoon stable will add an- other classic to their long list of victories wher Happy Eve annexes the 13 mile event (Hong Kong St. Leger) for griffins of this season. This bay mare is undoubtedly superior to any of the other en- trants and should win.comfortably. Expansion Time and Havoc Eve will probably finish behind Happy Eve, but I believe the grey from the Li Po Chun stable will once again beat the Sassoon second string. King's Coronation, Scenic View and Rob Roy are probable starters, of which the latter 19 about the best in view of his pre- sent condition.

BARRIER HANDICAP

A very well matched field should face the starter in this "A" Class.

Australian Race over six furlongs,

with several pontes worth eon- sidering. In spite of the weight Electron has an excellent chance as this grand old bay seems to have regained a little lost, form and ran a great race two meetings ago. Centre Court will be the real danger in view of the impressive gallop on Wednesday morning and the fact that this pony has more than once done well against the best in this class. Able Amazon and Double Finesse should not be neg- lected though personally I believe the latter wil not stand the dis- tance as well as Able Amazon.

An outsider worth following is Blandford. Though somewhat, slow in getting into stride after the gate goes up this animal has a very powerful Anish and appears quite fit at the moment. This pony did a very impressive gallop last Wed- nesday and Anished full of run- ning.

SIUM CHUN HANDICAP

(FIRST SECTION) Harvest View and Tyne, both re- cently demoted to the "C" Class, have been allotted top weight but this will not put them entirely out of the race. Harvest View should Anish close up and will extend King's Lead. This latter repre- sentative from the Dynasty stable is about the best in the field and should start

NEW BRIDGE HANDICAP There is considerable talk about this event (approximately five furlongs) being an easy thing for Derby Day but with all due res-- pect to this flyer from the Chau stable I do not believe she is un- beatable, as in a sprint race of this nature and with a field of

If this meet- ing agrees to form a Group of the Union, other opportunities will be organised for the more general purpose of discussing Paclism, but please bear in mind, discussion at this meeting is limited to the sub- fect of the Peace Pledge Union.

HISTORY OF UNION ..Mr, Spreckley began by giving a brief history of how the Peace Pledge Union came to be founded and said that within the last two years the membership had risen to Over 150.000.

The Unton, he sald, was striving to bring about a new spirit among mankind, a new idea, or the old idea brought up to date. The only possible way to do that was to start with the individual, right at the very bottom. The individual mind and heart had to be changed. The idea that for this purpose the leaders of the world had to be con- verted to pacifism first was wrong.
