RUMJAHN COUSINS NOT FULLY TESTED YESTERDAY

Mighty Silkylight Beaten By Desert Chief

A POOR SHOW PUT

UP BY TRIPLE CROWN WINNER

Two Track Records Broken

At Easter Race Meeting

"

(By. "Captain Foster")

After a sequence of four successful outings, the mighty Shanghai pride, Silkylight, owned by Mr. Moller was not only. badly beaten by Mr. Eu Tong-son's Desert Chief, but the cham- pion had also to bow to Mrs. Dunbar's Bear Claw in the major contest, the Enster Stakes, over a mile run last Monday.

The latter astounded every racing expert while Skylight put up a very poor show. This was one of the main features of the Easter Race Meeling, which was a great success.

The rucing itself was of a

very high standard with plenty of thrills and exciting finishes. The favourites held their own on the first day, bui on Monday the dividends were quite good, the best being $121.60 for place paid by that great old timer- Racing Boy. He was kindly treated by the weight controller with the lowest impost in the Boa Vista Handicap (second section) and had he reached the touch line first, Racing Boy would have handed out over $300 for a win.

However, 1 have taken the trouble to segregate the margin of defeats with the fol- lowing results:

It was not severe test for the holders who realised it better than anybody else; they showed it by playing Jackadai- sically in the opening games of each Ret and finally winning in three straight.

When these two fairs met in the same round last year, the Chinese collected eight games. They did better yesterday, taking 13, but the Issue, as in the previous match,.was
