A full review of the Annual Race Meeting under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club, which brought to an end last Saturday at Happy Valley, is not feasible owing to exigency of space, but I hope that a short survey of the five days of racing will not be out of place.

The meeting was a great success | from every point of view and a vote of thanks muit be' tendered to the Stewartis, Officials and the staff in goneral for the very efficient manner in which every department was run. This was much appreciated by the men of the turf and the paying out to punters was all in good time.
