This semi-final match was played at the U.S.R.C. and provided an entertaining match. The winners started off at whirlwind succeeded in maintaining it until the end. Miss Jinncock's chiselling drives were followed by fra. Wilson's in- cisive smashing.

I said in my last notes that I was very disappointed with the alow cantering adopted at the Chinese New Year's holiday, but be- lieve me, there were several fast gallops during the week-end and they were certainly à treat to watch, especially the performance | of Royal Scot owned by Messrs.

Her achievement over the mile last Sunday was the best ever galloped by a Derby Griffin during the early mornings, and her finish was, without any fear of contradiction, not "all out" It must have been a source of satisfaction to her connections when this lovely gray mare gave a true display of her energy and speed, and no doubt Mr. Harriman, who was "at the wheel", was quito satisfied with the running of the mile in a wonderful time of 2.00.1/5.
