DEAD HEAT RESULT IN

MONGOLIAN STAKES

Despite the somewhat gloomy weather, large crowds of turf enthusiasts gathered at Happy Valley this afternoon to witness the Hongkong Derby, on which a remarkably large number of sweep tickets had been sold. The race was won by Happy Eve, with Expansion Time second, and Havoc Eve third.

Jockey honours were well distributed in the five races comprising the morning events, in which Mr. V. C. Sung, Mr. I. Harris, Mr. J. Pote- Hunt, Mr. L. G. Frost and Mr. H. C. Pih each brought home a winner.

The first event, the Tower Stakes, produced a most thrilling finish between the first three ponies. Gordito, ridden by Mr.

V. C. Sung, managed to snatch victory from Pagan Love (Mr. F. Marshall) by a short head, while Coronation Day (Mr. Frust) was separated from the latter by the same distance.

The first big dividend paid on the parl-mutuel was $101.20, which backers of Llanarmon, ridden by Mr. 1. C. Harris in the Perth Plate, secured. The winner came in a length ahead of Dick Turpin (Mr. E. C. Leighton), with Such Fun, ridden by Mr. Frost, in third position three lengths away.

Rome, February 21.

Italy's first response to Great Britain's enormous re-armament plan has taken the form of an order for the mobilisation of five classes of conscripts, totalling 1,000,000 men, born between 1980 and 1904. They are instructed to report at depots. on dates to be announced later.

The object of the Italian Government is to test the speed and efficiency of its mobilisation plans.

If there is no reason for keeping this army of conscripts mobilised, the men will be sent back to their homes after they have reported.

The Fascist Grand Council will meet on March 1 to consider the military situa

It is understood it will decide on further all-round re-armament, especially of the Air Force.-Reuter.
