IN FIRST RACE

Brighter weather favoured: Championa Day at the Races, and ļas this is also Ladies' Day, the race for the Ladies' Purse being third on the card, the fair sex [were able to come out in brighter [attire than during the first

three days of the Meeting.

For the big. race, which is being run this afternoon, Liberty Bay or Diana Bay are strongly faneled, although a keen struggle for honours is expected and a sur- prise is not impossible. General opinion, however, is that the event is a fairly safe thing for the Dun-" bar stable.

For sweepstake ticket-holders much depends on the main event, as well over 20,000 tickets have been sold, and the prizes will ae- cordingly be much larger than usun!.

As on the first three days of the Meeting, the results, cash greeps, etc., are being transmitted from the racecourse to the Telegraph office by the teleprinter installed by the Hongkong Telephone Co... Ltd. This has proved a great boon, resulting in the saving of much time, and the severe test to which the plant has been subject- ed has in every way demonstrat- ed the reliability of this latest product of scientific skill.

The Ladies' Purse is to be pre- sented to the winning jockey by Miss Yvonne Shenton.

The Japanese counter-statement, consisting of Ten Points, was issued for publication, revealing that it is couched in terms practically closing the door to further efforts at conciliation.

Thirty-five minutes only were required for the Assembly to complete the first stage of its task to-day, after which the session was adjourned until Friday. Friday's meeting should not be a long one. The Com- mittee of Nineteen have decided that, as far as they are concerned, there will be no speeches.
