In view of the fact that the Chinese Olympic 'trial side in- cluded some half a dozen players who are well nigh certain to figure in the team to play at Berlin, plus the fact that the com bination won four-nil, yesterday's trial match against United Services at Caroline Hill can be regarded by the selectors as being fairly satisfactory.

FIRST SURPRISE

Red Hot Favourite Fails To Win

The first surprise of the Meeting came in the Shek Pol Handicap over Avo furlongs for "A" class China ponies, when the red hot favourite Soldier of Britain falled miserably not even securing a place, and Herod, with a navice, won the event in an effortless manner. There was much difference in poundage between hira and Diana Bay at their last outings and under the circumstances Herod certainly staged a comeback to his Derby form of last season.

However, the start was not in any who was way a fair one for Oak Bay, loft at the post, but, Herod forged ahead with a good two clear lengths and was chased by Diana Bay, Gladiator and Soldier of Britain with the rest of the field in close attend- ance. The same order of running was maintained right up to the quarter-of-a-mile post and when catering the straight, Diana Bay could not m

make any headway to close the gap. Mr. Harris opened his account by winning the event with a clear margin of three lengths and Diana Bay beat Macaroni by a length. Oak Bay, who had bad start, was nosed out by Macaroni for a place. This being Mr. Harris' first official win of the flat at the Valley, he was warmly congratulated in the Jockey room.
