We have no doubt that all who were part cipators the sports of last season and joined in fit eager competition for prizes, will be bui too happy to enter the lists & second time.
The Portuguese inhabitants of Macao were last Saturday called on by the Governor to repair by ten o'clock the following morning at the Church of St. Antomo le order to be en- ruled into a body of local Malitia. A volunteer corps
