FIRST HALF OF RACING SEASON UNDER REVIEW

MANY EXCITING FINISHES: BUT LOW DIVIDENDS

{By "Captain Foster"

In many ways the first half of the racing reason con. cluded has been an excellent one to the Hongkong Jockey Club. The popularity of the sport has, without any ques- tion of doubt, benefited the Fanling Hunt and Race Club! and also the Macao Jockey Club. It requires an enormous space to cover everything in one article and therefore my review, which brings to light some interesting. figures such as the best pari-mutuel returns, tabulated successes of the jockeys, a list of the best winning Australian sires, the stakes won by the owners and etc., will have to be published in two parts.

SOUTH CHINA SOCCER TOURISTS TOO GOOD FOR STRAITS CHINESE

Singapore, June 16.

But for Keng Hock's opportunism in the second half, the S.C.F.A. might have taken a bigger defeat from the South China team than one of four-three in their soccer match at the Stadium › yesterday.
