The annual race meeting promoted by the Hongkong Jockey Club is one of the most enjoyable fixtures of the year. That for 1967 shows no waning in popularity, the public | Mr Brutton's Kingston (late Exchange appreciation being manifested in no unmistak- able manner, and with excellent arrangemen's it follows that the meeting has all the elements of success The exbibition of sport was quite up to the average and the results were on the whole satisfactory to owners, that is from the point of view of sport. The ponies were well trained, they were ably ridden and it is satisfactory to record that as usual everything was above suspicion. The stewards and officials were guarantees for straight dealing, and, however unexpected a resnit might be there could be no question of unfairness.
As in former years special traffic regulations had to be carried out sud these secured a freedom from congestion and accident that were their own recommendation. Like the approaches to the big race meetings at home, the thoroughfares were thronged with every available vehicle, there being a regular procession of ricshas to the Happy Valley, while
A service of trame carried the multitude to the entraues of the enclosure. The weather was cool but bracing, and only a touch of sunshine was needed to invest the picturesque scene and its beautiful environment with the pleasing B6D88 of brightness. The large attendance included the elite of local society, H.E. the the overnor and suite arriving before the first race and being received with the usual tokens of respect. The band of the 3rd Mid legex Regi- ment was in attendance and played pleasing selections throughout the day.
The Governor had tiffin with the stewards in the beautifully decorated stand.
Ten races were set down for yesterday and in all of them there was sufficiently large number of starters to make them interesting. Appeud- ed are the results:
