Grand,

Rose Elect, Mr. Eu Toni-sen's, pony, is undoubtedly "Queen of the Carnival with her triple triumph in the Makden Stakes, Hongkong Derby xt the Champlun Stakes. That her triumph was complete in the frat two-named 'events there can be no doubt at all; but one wonders what might have happened in the Cham- plons and Desert Chief not belonged to the same stablo? It was fairly evident to all those watching the race that Desert, Chlef still had plenty of running in the last Kurlong. In the races to-day, the average ponies will have their chances of paying for the unkeep, as several events are for ponics which have started in at least. Livo races and have not won. The Nil Desperandum Stakes is one of them, and the event has been spill into two sections. which gives some the not-so-good a greater hope of finishing up the (earnival with some sort of return for

Lucky Lnd looks almost a certain- ty for the Australian Ponies' Chom- plons. She ran extremely well in her last outing.

Will Triumphant Day repeat her triumph? It is hardly likely thai she will beat Lucky Lad or Lonca- |shire Chips, but it has to be remem- bered that when she won to pay the highest dividend of the meeting- $415 she was pushed right from the start by her jockey, Mr. L. B. Chao, and yet finished so strongly that she, left the rest of the field be- hind in the last 100 yards,
