KWANTI RACE MEETING

FIRST OF SEASON BIG SUCCESS

(Continued from Page §).

euncur with the views expressed by "Spectator" in the issue of the South China Morning Post of Tuesday last. The addition of a win Pari to the "wire" system would, I consider, make betting arrangements more perfect, and would tend to popularize the Meetings more than ever. Unless some change is made in the exist- Ing ayatem, dividends will in- variably be amall, certainty nothing of an outstanding nature will be paid out on an "outsider" should such a win be registered.

FERGUSON'S SUCCESSES

Mr. G. P. Ferguson was the most successful rider of the Meeting. wigning two races. Tom Cobley's win in The St. John's Cup was more or less expected, but his win on Soldier of Italy in the Tally-Ho Handleap Steeplechase was fully deserved. Soldier of Haly was jumping in good style and i think we shall hear more about him at future meetings. On his art 'performance, he will, I think, be Aurlous contender for the Grand National.

Mr. Davia on Burgomaster won the Tai Po Handicap Steeplechase in meatorly fashion. Mr. Deitz on Racing Pluck-a new comer to Fanling-Onished second, This pony created a most favourable Impression on his first appearance "ver fonces and, I think, was Amewhat unlucky to lose the race. I understand Racing Pluck was carried out at the second fence and lost nearly fifty yards as a renult. But for this incktent, the pony, I think, would have won as he finished about four lengths only behind the winner.

Mr. Field received a great ova- tion after winning the Volunteers' Hurdle race on his pony, Racing Strain. This was his first win.

Mrs. Paton was also heartily choorod after winning the Ladies' Sprint on her pony, The Loafer, in a most convincing manner by 4/5 lengths. Mins Beryl Fair on Bay of Calamity came up very fast to Anutch second place from Miss Scott Harston on the fast tiring Kung.

The next Meeting at Kwant! will take place on 20th January next.
