For the off-day of the Hongkong Jockey Club annual race meeting there was delight- ful weather to-day, if slightly chilly at the Happy Valley. There was no sun through. out the day, but the weather was dry and the sharp cold wind set the track in. fine condition overnight. The times were comparatively fast for the class of ponies that contested, the various events on the programme. Being a Saturday, the Banks. and business houses were closed to husi

as after one o'clock, and so facilitated the attendance of those who see fine sport and entertainment in horse-racing in Hongkong. Before the first saddling bell Tang at 1.30 pm, the fenclosure was well filled with a large, attendance of spectators and the number of ladies who graced the private stands and booths with their pre- sence was quite as numerous as on the regular race days. On the paddock their pretty dresses and ornate hats made a pretty | showing. His Excellency the Governor was not present, but Lady Lugard · and Government House pany were down at the course from an early hour in the afternoon, and pccupied the Governor's Stand watching the races, with much interest, for the rest of the day. Members of the Naval and Military Services were also pre sent, and the private stand reserved for the sister services held a full complement of its patrons with their guests, Within the circle 'the concourse of men of every nationality with the Chinese in their thousands-was almost as large as on Tliursday. Sailors and Soldiers occupied the special reservation for them in front of the Judge's Box. Band- master Calthorpe, of the 3rd Middlesex 'Re- giment, again conducted his fine Band on the lawn within the enclosure, and the pleasing selections of music rendered con- tributed much to the afternoon's enjoyment.
