PROSPECTS FOR TENTH

Queensland Handicap

Tit-Bit Of Programme

FREEMANTLE ST. LEGER

(By "LAST QUARTER")

THE CHIEF EVENTS IN THE PROGRAMME to be presented to-morrow at the 10th Extra Race Meeting of the Hongkong Jockey Club are the Sub-Grins St. Leger and the Freemantle St. Lager. over 1-1/4 miles. Entries on the whole have not been as large as at former meetings, with, the possible exception of the Norfolk Handicap for "D" Class China ponies, but this should in no way affect the keen racing anticipated.

h

Judging by the alloiment of weights, the most interesting race of the day will be the Queensland Handicap for "A" Class Australian ponies over one mile, when a field of "champions" will be on view and should furnish punters with a tapital finish.

SALVAGE MASTER. WELL FANCIED FAVOURITE for the Sub-Griffins St. Leger has her task made all the easier owing to the enforced absence of Louis XIV and Smiling Thru'. The former has teen on the walking list for several months, since winning the Sub- Grins Spring Handicap in March last, while Smiling Thru pulled up lame several weeks ago after a morning gallop and has not fully recovered. Another notable absentee is Desert Star. The entries for the Freemantle, St. Leger are fairly representative and I believe all the nine ponles will go to the post,

"I HAVE TREMENDOUS FAITH IN THE FUTURE OF CHINA," declared Mrs. Charlotte Haldane, wife of Professor J. B. S. Haldane, and special correspondent of the "Daily Herald" in

an interview with Reuter to-day before leaving Kariming on her return journey to England.

During the past two months she has been touring "free China" visiting women's associations.
