(By "Captain Foster")

To-morrow's Eighth Extra Race Meeting, better known among the racing confraternity as "Double Tenth Meeting," used to be two days Carnival, but, owing to the fact that the anni versary fails on a Saturday we have only one day of racing. How- ever being a public holiday we should see a good attendance of racing enthusiasts and punters are advised that the first saddling bell will be rung at 1.30 p.m.

It is learned that Mr. S. C. Llang (Tientsin jockey) will not be seen hi action, as fre is laid up with malaria while Mr. Y, T. Fung will take over all his mounts.
