donations made by the Stowards of the Hongkong Jockey Club to the British War Organisation Fund and the local charitable institutions.

DONATIONS EXCEED $200,000

It will be recalled that the first donation made was a sum of $50,000 given to the War Charities at the inaugural meeting held at Government House, then come the juicy proceeds of the Hongkong Derby special dollar cash sweep amounting over $100,000, and the last was an aggregate payment of $51,500 to various local charitable institutions.

It will thus be seen that the Hongkong Jockey Club contributed grants well over $200,000, and we may look forward with a great deal of confidence that the amount of next year's donations will be maintained, if not in- creased..
