DERBY DAY AT HAPPY VALLEY.

HONGKONG'S SENSATIONAL DERBY.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1915.

his instructions from Mr. Burkill were that his mount was likely to bore out at the turn, owing to bis own long stride; and he rode in so as to prevent any outward boring. The pony did, how rur, bore outwards and not | inwards, and he had to give him olip on the side of the neck to bring him in. So far from boring inward, hia pony actusily larded outward, and he was cat, ía the course when he secured the lead. He crossed to the inside in good faith and believed he was fully privileged to do so according to all the rules of rasing. The jockeys were told to put their complaints in writing. Mr. Ellia Kadoorie, however, would not insist upon the objec- tien and the matter, therefore, did not farther trouble the stewards.
