Thrilling Finish To Cross-Harbour

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 secs., beating his nearest rival, Yau Sai-kwan, over the mile course, and a special dollar cash sweep is being conducted by just over a minute.

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.

bol favourite CHAN started

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

Lau Tal-ping, another youngsier, finished third, and all three were given a great ovation.

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.

At the hallway stage, Chan Chun- nam and Yau Sai-kwan were about 16 yards apart, slightly to the left of the North Arm of the Dockyard, with Lau Tai-ping Immediately be- hind. A. K. Rumjahn, employing bls well-known backstroke, and D. Hutchinson, swimming breast-stroke, were separated from the Chinese leaders by about a quarter of a mile, swimming in a direct ino for the wall next to the swimming pool. The women were not far behind, Miss Li Po-chun. winner of this section, being 200 yards to the rear of Rum- Juhn and Hutchinson.

HAN and You were drawing closer and when just of the end of the V.RC. slipway, the former spurted and reached the wall in a thrilling Anish about 60 seconds ahead of his opponent.

Miss Id Po-chun, who used the breast-stroke almost throughout, was a comfortable winner, white Miss Ip Chol-man, who did so well in the Colony Championships, was a good tecond. The last to finish, Mias Peggy Maefayden, took over three- quarters of an hour to complete the course and reached the flashing wall
