In other words, how much did you lose out at Happy Valley yesterday?
You might be interested to hear that we are one of the very few people in Hongkong who have had a really successful career on the turf.
When we say, we have had a successful career on the turf, wa don't want any of your nasty in- sinuations.
A lot of strange incidents aro connected with our sporting career,

Last year we found an infallible system for winning at the races. In a race with five ponies, we ask five friends to put ten bucks each. on a pony for us. You can't loss that way, especially If you can keep out of the way of the people who backed the losers for you.
The first races were hold at Happy Valley in 1845, and a lot of money was placed on the favourite, which came in in 1847 and was promptly disqualifled for being over nge.
Happy Valley is about 1 miles from the city going out by taxi, and about 5 miles walking home after the last race.
As the Chinese say: "Make cum fle."

There were 203 Coronation stamps, and Canada won the race among the countries of the Empire to be first with her stemps for the new reign She made philatelie history by show. ing, for the fist time, an English king in mufli.
One of the most popular stamps of the past 12 months was the "Virginia Dare" 3-cente stamp sold by the United States post offices. It com- memorated the 300th anniversary of the birth of the first white baby born on the American continent. Her life was short. Indians overpowered the settlement and left no survivor to tell the tale.
The set which had the most adven- turous enreer was that issued by Colombla to celebrate the fourth Olympiad. I was sold only by the skin of its teeth.....
The stamps arrived late. Then they could not be sold because the President had not authorised them. He was chased round the country by. an aeroplane which was always one hop too late.
When his authorisation was given it was a public holiday, so no post ofices were open, and when they did open there were not enough clerks to cope with the demands of those who wanted to buy the stamps.
