Thrilling Finish To Cross-Harbour

Race

CHAN CHUN-NAM, who two short weeks ago broke the China National record for the 1,500 metres, won his first cross-harbour title yesterday when he swam from

THE most important contest of the Ninth Extra Race Meeting to-morrow the Railway Pier, Kowloon, to the V.R.C., Hongkong, in at Happy Valley is the Kwangtung Handicap for “D” class China ponios 26 mins. 7.4 sece., beating his nearest rival, Yau Sai-kwan, over the mile course, and a special dollar cash swoop is being conducted by just over a minute.

Miss Li Po-chun icored a comfortable win over six on the event. At time of writing the sale of this special lottery has ex- other women, and was timed at 33 mins. 42.2 secs. cooded 100,000 tickets, and I have a good reason to predict that the total will reach 150,000 mark.

I do not hold out much hope that the sale will eclipse last year's figure when it amounted to 209,030 chances and the first prize was $88,963.18. However, assuming the sale will to-morrow reach 150,000 tickets, the first prize is guaranteed $63,840, while the second will be $18,240, and the third $9,120. Unplaced entered ponies, whether they start or not, will receive over $1,400.

hot favourite CHAN started

following his recent successes of North Point, but was given a great challenge by Yau Sal-kwan, a young Chinese from Canton. The latter, almost up to the V.R.C. slipway, looked a certain winner, but Chan's final spurt over the last 200 yarda made the race one of the most exclt- ing in many years.

Fifteen men and seven women dived off. but no sooner had they entered the water than two coasterS crossed some 300 yards in front and all were hampered by the wash.
