THE SECOND DAY. The second day's racing was favoured with fine weather. It was somewhat cooler at the outset, the sun being less resplendent than on Tuesday and the N.E. breeze blowing a trifle stronger, but the temperature was invigorating and dry. The attendance was, as usual, a big one the leaf Hongkong being again on the ground, and the bustle and gaiety was as great as ever. There were somewhat fewer people present at the first race than on the preceding day, but by noon the Grand Stand and its precincts were crowded with spectators. Patrons of the pari-mutuel crowded to secure a choice and organisers of sweeps did a thriving business. The general aspect of the ground was less brilliant than on Tuesday, owing to the dull light that prevailext, but the tones were softer and, if anything, more pleasing,
The racing opened with the Flyaway Stakes, and when the name of Coronet Kosn went up in the weighing in room the shroti at No. 2 part-mutuel had a busy ten minutes. The favourite did not belie the name of the race, and won the five furlongs hands down with the mount hard held by Cox.
