1913
First year Queen and King are chosen as officiating royalty. Ostrich races dominate New Year's Day games. During one contest, an ostrich leaped toward the sidelines, stopped abruptly and threw its unlucky rider into the judges' viewing stand. The man extracted himself from the knot of judges, bowed to the crowd and chased after the stubborn creature.

First and only elephant-camel race held. With a little goading from its rider, the elephant won.

1914
Second and last time a Queen and King are chosen as officiating royalty.
