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 THE most important contest of the Ninth Extra Race Meeting to-morrow first cross-harbour title yesterday when he swam from at Happy Valley is the Kwangtung Handicap for “D” class China ponies the Railway Pier, Kowloon, to the V.R.C., Hongkong, in over the mile course, and a special dollar cash sweep is being conducted 26 mins. 7.4 secs., beating his nearest rival, Yau Sai-kwan,

I do not hold out much hope that the sale will eclipse Inst 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 ponics, whether they start or not, will receive over $1,400.
