The Amoy Race Meeting of 1937 will loog be remembered as one of the most successful that has ever takes place in that small sporting community,» Four ähmeqani jockeys accepted the invitations of their Amoy friends, and it deed hardly be said that the treatment they re ceived from all hands was that of the "greatest of kindness,"
The morning of roth inst. Baw, the opening. of the Mesting, the Consular Cup being the first race, which Rhône won with Mr. Midwood up. The Trial Stakes came next, open to Amoy subscription griffins, and this was taken by the favourite, "Cross Deep" Mr. Pearsa in
the unddie.
The Pokee Challenge Cup, 1 mile, only brought out two starters Tipest and Nimbus, ridden by Messrs. Canning and Midwood respectively, and after a close finish the former won in the creditable time of 2,45

Following this: race the Hackwan Cup was run and resulted in a fairly easy victory for Mr. Goodfellow on Treffhube. The E Mung Keng Plate was practically a "walk over" for Auld Lang Syne Mr. Midwood up, the other runners being quite outclassed. The Kolangsu Cap brought a field of eight starters and was won by The Limit, well-ridden by Pears. The seventh and last race of the first day, the Amoy Stakes, fell in Platelaver, Pearse up, the Fonchow Champion winner" Ilo," who was very "dicky," coming in a good second, Time 2.50 7/5 the.
It commenced to blow on the evening of roth, and next morning a fairly strong North Easter was in evidence, so it can hardly be said that the second day was an ideal one from a racing point of view, although it kept but few of the ladies away from the Course, which spoke, well for the interest the fair sex takes in the "great game" in Amay, at

Proceedings opened on the second day with the Chazze Cup which Mr. Midwood won on Ginger. For the next race, the Amay Darby, the field was a disappointing one, only three. starters, and was won by Discomfit, · Lanning up. The Challenge, Cup resulted in a good race and Rhone, piloted by Mr. Midwood, was victorious, winning outright, this magnificent trophy for Mr. Wilson he having won it in the previous year with Asphodel. Both owner and jockey received numerous congratulations, the victory "belog in extremely popular one,
The following race, the Exchange Flate, was. also won by the same owner, with Nimbus; who had also Mr. Midwood in the saddle, but
it was a very close finish with the well-known Foochow sub. Spots.
The Jockey Cap was reserved for local joc-

The morning of the third day opened fine, the wind having practically disappeared, so a good day's sport was looked for and certainly no one was disappointed. Several people who had been unable to be present on the previous days helped to swell the crowd, nod when the first race was started. punctually at 17.30, the stands and enclosures were well filled.
A start was made with the Leger Cup which was won by Nimbus, Midwood up. The Twoman Cup, presented by a couple of Amoy's best aports, fell to Ginger, ridden by the all conquering Midwood. The Hack Stake fallowed and once more Dr. Moorehead was able to show the local jocks the way round an isclosure. It was a good race, old W. C. coming in second. The Lottery Cap was won by P P. C., Goodfellow up. This pany had previously been placed four times second.
