HONG KONG ST. LEGER The Hong Kong St. Leger resulted in an easy win for the much fan- cicd Happy Eve with Mr. F. Mar- shail on the saddle. It was obvious

from the very start that the result would be between the three ponies that filled the first three positions and in passing it might be men- Lloned that the final positions were correctly given by "Last Quarter" in our issue on Saturday. There was nothing in the race as the first three ponies were far superior to the others in the race.
