APIA, September 2.
ON August 29 the 21st anniversary of the raising of the British flag and the occupation of Western Samoa by New' Zealand troops was celebrated. The day was observed as a public holiday and for the first time after a lengthy interval the Apia Turf Club conducted a race meeting.
Though the events were marred by un favourable weather, racing fans were re warded by good sport. It is hoped that the efforts of the Apia Turf Club to revive the “sport of kings” in Samoa shall in future meet with better luck and more support by the general public.
Mr. Ray H. Mansell, of Bathurst, New South Wales, who has been relieving pilot for Guinea Airways Ltd., Lae, New Guinea, for several months, returned to Australia by the Macdhui on August 30.
