Noumea. Sept. 22.
Sunday, September 5, the Societe ” Sportive de la Nouvelle Caledonia held its annual race meeting at Magenta.
Though the attendance was good, the day was marred a little by the poor entries for all races. The outstanding feature of the day was the success of the Japanese joint-owners, Messrs. R. Yama moto and Yoshiyama, who won all out standing events and scooped the pool.
The racing season now having/ opened, the meetings of the country clubs all follow in succession until the end of the year when the season is again closed for nine months.
Mr. John Farrow, who was described in the “Pacific Islands Monthly” of Sep tember as “an American author” who had written a book about Father Damien, is not an American. A relation of his tele phoned to advise us of the fact in very firm language. Mr. Farrow is an Aus tralian, and his family reside at Mosman,
Sydney.
