| “TELEGRAPH'S" NEW RACING FEATURE

AUTHORITATIVE ARTICLES TO‘· START TO-MORROW.

CONTINUING our policy of offer-

ing the best sports comments by the Colony's leading authoritative writers, the Telegraph to-morrow will contain a special review and analysis of the important Jockey Club race meeting at the Happy Valloy which is being held on Satur- day.

"CAPTAIN Foster," whose wide

experience and close contact with the local turf and elsewhere makes him one of the leading judges on local racing, will make his bow to our readers with an authoritative, in- formative and comprehensive article dealing with the three Autumn classics the Hongkong, Freemantle and Sub-Griffins St. Legers-which are included in Saturday's pro- gramme at the Valley. "CAPTAIN Foster" enjoys access

to "inside knowledge" to the extent that few are privileged to possess, and race-goers can, in future, look confidently towards "Captain Foster" as a reliable guide during the year's racing in Hongkong.
