By an ironic twist of fate, the Club, having obtained the services of Elliott, are now unable to use him for this very impartailt game. Elliott has already played for Kowloon in the Shield this season and is therefore not eligible to appear for another team in the samo.competition,

REVIEW OF ANNUAL RACE MEETING

Ythan Unluckiest Pony Of The Week

(By "Captain Foster")

We have had our Annual Race Carnival. The Mecting took place under, splendid weather conditions. Ponies more or less ran true to form, and we were not treated to any sensational dividends in consequence. Some owners met with unforeseen reverses, but such is the glorious uncertainty of racing. Those who require sympathy include Mrs. Pearce and Mr. Hosie.

Mrs. Pearce's grifin Trowbridge went wrong some Lime before the Meeting. This was particularly unfortunate as the pony, I am aure; was good enough to register a few wins hat he regained sound, Trentbridge also wint slightly amlas, hence his defent in the Ladies Purso.

L

Mr. Hosle, a fine type of sports- man, who supports our racing in ja qulet way, had very bad fuck with his Australian, Streamline. This animal had a reputation and many thought, including myself, that Mr. Iosis would come into his own and lead In a winner. Fate, however, was unkind, and the pleasure of seeing his Colours flash past the winning post in the

denled first position was Streamline started in the Sydney Maidens and was unfortunately struck into. He was so badly cut that he had to be retired for the. remainder of the Meeting.
