Mr. Macgregor's disappointment was compensated by the brilliant achieve- rment of Strathroy in the Australian Ponies Champions when he captured the classic event in record time of 2.10.3/5 lowering his own record by a fth of a second.

Electron camned $1,500 for the three medicos, Drs. Laing, To und Croote while Double Finesse, Holiday Eve and Saucy Face, each won $600 to provide for their upkeep. It seems that Yo Ho, the winner of last year's is still under A Rooty- Derby,

BRITISH 300 YDS SPRINT RECORD LOWERED

London, Mar. 4, A. G. K. Brown, the famous English athlete, who Anished second in the World Olymple 400 metres in 1930, to-day broke the British 300 yards record time by returning 30.5/10 seconds.

He accomplished this brillant per- formance at Cambridge.

The previous recurd, catablished by Guy M. Buller, was 30.0/10 seconds; --Resiter.

Although she tried her best under the guidance of Mr. D. S. LI, Able Amazon was no match against Strath- roy and Electron, and Vixen, Tor managed to collect $250 for the own-

GORDITO ABOVE ALL OTHERS

A Wonderful "Sub"

We have the same story to tell every year, that is, one sub-grimin turns out to be head and shoulders above all others, Gordita, owned by Messrs. Ricardo Lasala and Eddie Souza, is certainly the best flower of the fleek of this season.

the

As I said in my last notes Gordito had a bad start in the Valley Stakes otherwise he would have scored five wins instead of four, Gordilo wás only half-a-length behind Pagan Love,

winner of the Valley Stakes but he reversed the decision in the Tower Stakes, trouncing Pagan Love by a short head. His subsequent outings the Sub- grifins Challenge Cup, the Sports Club Cup and the Sub-griffins' Cham- plans were easy canters and the stable came out with Bying colours to the tune of $4,722 to their credit, Then follows Pagan Love with only $1,046 while Tempest has earned a bad $1,242. Coronation Day was

ady for letting the betting public to capture down, but she managed the Governor's Cup for the owner Dr. S. N. Chau and made $1,050 to pay for her chow.

One would hardly believe that the best day to the Hongkong Jockey Club was when the children were present. for the

aggregate sale of tickels amounted to 51,963 or a turnover of in $250,815 and it must be borne mind that this was for nine instead of 12 races. The grand total of sales for winners and places during the five days amounted to 230,306 and this mearis $1,181,530 passed through the hands of the Hongkong Jockey Club.

I will be seen that the best back- ed race was the Happy Valley Spring Handicap "B" division, the total sale amounting to 7,307 representing a turnover of $30,085 while the Rooly- I Derby was the second, best with la total of 0,527 tickets and the third was in the Black Rock Stakes with a sale of 6,492 tickets.

USEFUL PRACTICE MATCH

The Interport hockey team enjoyed a practice game on the Club ground yesterday when they met a fairly strong Portuguese side and won by two clear goals. Eleut. Wright and S. Fowler were the scorers.

Though the ground was slippery, the game was played at a gɔod pace and was highly interesting. It was just the type of practice the Inter- porters needed.

Several of the players found dim- culty in keeping to their feet, Lieut. Wright in particular being a sufferer, casy goal-scoring He missed two chances through slipping as he was

about to shoot.
