EVERY POINT OF VIEW

PARI-MUTUEL RECORD

A FULL REVIEW of the Annual Race Meeting under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club, which was brought to an end last Saturday at Happy Valloy, is not feasible owing to want of space, but I sincerely hope it may interest one to know that a short "gonoral run over" of the five days of racing will answer tho purpose.

The meeting was undoubtedly a grand success from 775, which was a record. every point of view, and a vote of thanks must be tendered to the Stewards, Officials and

the staff in general for the

very efficient manner

Congratulations are due to the owner, Mr. Li Lan-sang, for capturing the most exclusive Australian classic event. It was a brilliant performance of Far View, who annexed the triple crown, namely, the third section of the Sydney Maiden non-starter Stakes (the time being equal to present record), the Rooty-III!! Derby (lowering the

track figure by one and four-fifths seconds) and the Australian Ponies Champions.
