TWO FLAT RACES PROVIDED AT FANLING MEETING
SPECIAL SWEEP BEING RUN ON "RELIEF CUP"
(1)y "Captain Foster")
Encouraged by the success of their December meeting, the Stewards of the Fanling Hunt and Race Club have kept the pot boiling by providing two flat races (the Relief Cupa handicap for "D" class China ponies over a mile, and the Shatin Handicap for "E" class raters' over six furlongs) in their programme for their January Meeting to be held at Kwanti on Sunday. In addition there are two steeplechasing events for the Australian and China ponics and a hurdle contest to be divided into two sections for bona fide China hunters. The division was necessary owing to the many entries received for the Hunters' Hurdle Race over 14 miles.

The allotment of weights for theļ followed by Jack fat racing has been framed by the Happy Valley handleapper, Mr. C. M. Alves, and his judicious alloca- tion of the lead has always given a certain amount of interest to the pari-mutuel department. There is no doubt that we will see a train load of regular followers of the turf turning up and a good day's aport
