“Captain Foster's" Racing Review

Racing Season Rolls Around Again

Beas River Paddocks

Not Quite Ready Ponies Weather Summer Well At Happy Valley

ANOTHER SUMMER has come and gone, but mem- bers of the Hongkong Jockey Club have not been able to make use of their own grazing ground in Fanling, for owing to unsettled conditions the development of Fan- ling property has somewhat been delayed through lack of building materials, but it is reliably learned that the buildings and stables will be completed before the end of the year.

This huge property of the club has been named "Beas River Paddocks"-the future summer resort of our "dumb friends" during the recess.

It would really interest one to know what is the actual acrenge of Beng River Paddocks, because land in the New Territories is very cheap. I reported in my racing notes of June 9, 1939, that the Hongkong Jockey Club!

had started negotiations to pur- Morning "Pows"

chase a big piece of land for ponics to graze.

Since then they have purchased additional lols and the cost of tand alone, I understand, is over $98,000. Judging from the gures disclosed by the chairman, the Hon. Mr T. E. General Pearce, at the half-yearly

meeting held In May, there is good renson to believe that there will be aeroinmodation for over Ave hundred} ponies.
