Well-Attended Meet

(By "Captain Foster")

At

BRILLIANT WEATHER coupled with excel- lent racing was rosponsible in certain measure for a large attendance, which witnessed the running of the Kwangtung Handicap for "D" class China ponies over the mile course, at Happy Valloy last Saturday.

There was a big “last minute" rush at the counter of the cash sweep department for the special dollar lottery conducted on the event, and, as a result, the sale amounted to a colossal figure of 183,000 tickets.

The lucky drawer of chance No. 141,390,| which drow Royal Highness with Mr. V, V. Noeda in the saddle, received a lovely sum of $77,884.80 being the first prize. The second was $22,252.80 while the third got $11,126.40.

APART from the interest shown in the special lottery, the dollar cash sweep on other events was well patronized by the public. In the opening race the prize was $1,898.40, while in the penultimate event the first prize was worth $4,624.20 for a two-dollar ticket.
