REVIEW OF ANNUAL

RACE MEETING

HEROD'S PERFORMANCES PROMISE SUCCESSFUL SEASON

(By "Captain Foster"),

We have enjoyed four days racing at Happy Valley under ideal weather conditions. Herod has proved himself to be the outstanding griffin of 1935, and won the Hongkong Derby after a thrilling race with Rose-Queen and King's Jubilee by a neck. His performance, however, in the Lusitano Cup was most im- pressive and stamps him to be a class pony. He covered the mile in 1-58 4/5 in a canter.

WEEK'S CRICKET REVIEWED

K.C.C. Make Vain Effort To Force A Win

There is a good deal of cricket to deal with this week and I must first dispose of the games played on Saturday last. The most exciting one is that between the K.C.C. and the Army. The latter side were short of all their R.W.F. players, but were greatly strengthened by the inclusion of Col. Kirke.
