BY LAST QUARTER'

Nine events, with the Australian Subscription Griffins Champions as the classle of the day, will form the programme for the final day of the 1941 Annual Race Mecting tomorrow afternoon. The first ṣad-" ding bell will be rung at 1.30 p.m. and the first race run at 2 p.m.

Two interesting events have been set aside for the Daily Double: the first leg being on the Happy Valley Spring Handicap for “B Class China, ponies over one mile and the second leg on the Taiping Handicap over the same distance or "C" Class China ponies. These events will probably provide the best fields of the day from a racing viewpoint, and the anticipated keen finishes should result in some heavy and even betting on the parl-mutuel.
