SECOND EXTRA RACE MEETING.
FINE SPORT AND GOOD DIVIDENDS.
MACAO PONY WINS AGGREGATE.
STAKES.
[BY RAPIER.]
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, APRIL
The attendance at Saturday's Meeting was slightly below normal owing no doubt to the somewhat dismal weather prevail...... » ing. The drizzle had the effect of making the going slippery. rather than heavy and the times were, generally on the slow side. I do not think the state of the Course was.altogether responsible for the rather sensational, defeat of Saligia in the Aggregate Stakes This was one of the low races where the time was cot bad considering the geing. It was 2.08.4-3 compared with 207,3-5- for the same race at the last Extra Meeting and 2.00.2-5 for the Gymkhana Stakes at the Annual Meeting when the going on both occasions was good. Bacareat and Macao Beauty are certainly worthy of respect and their success will help to focus closer at tention on the activities of the Macao Rado Club. Wong's success on the present occasion helped to efface the memory of the bad luck which dogged him at the last Meeting. The Belds were fairly big and the third race was rather unusual as all the ten panjes entered faced the Starter. The Bind of the K.O.S.B.'s took refuge in the Grand Stand and enlivened the proceedings with a well chosen and excellently rendered programme of music.
The Racing.
There were seven starters in the first race. The favourite, Grande lost to King of del Norte, Troy by three lengths with The Grig an equal distance away. This was a good performance on the part of the vinner in view of the fact that he took his jockey twice round the Course early on Saturday morn. ing when he was taken out for his usun last quarter.
The second
produced a severe tussie between Hame Call and The Goblin for first place the latter winning by a head with
·Battle Eve two lengths away. Had
racc
Home Call won he would have hand somely rewarded his supporters who only numbered 66 as against 353 ou Goblin and 283 on Battle Eve.
晶
The third race, gare Pollock his second consecutive win and took Pottenbush out of the non-winner's clasa This was a good £nish with Bing Bey taking second place from Festive Eve by half Fength. Pottenbush got badly left at the post but Pollock was undeterred by this misfortune and his success was well merited. Riders are toa prose to allow a bad start to upset them instead of making the best of things and endeavouring to retrieve their position.
The fourth race provided, the afternoon's' sensation and the lucky supporters of Baccarat and Macao
Beauty were indeed fortunate as dividends of 8249 for a win and 244 and 871 respectively for. places are very pausual.
•
The, fith race was again weh by Black Mouse with Reynolds and Cra filling the places. Abel-Smith was primarily responsible for the „victory as he jumped off at the start as before and rode hard the whole way. The winner paid $19 as against 890.30 the last time he ran. A friend of mine backed Black
Mouse because he saw a dead black rat on his way to the Office on the morning of the last Meeting. I suppose those people who have been writing about the Statuq; Square spooks would probably back The Goblin after a night out.
The Sixth race was won rather. surprisingly by Bagheera with Skidor second and Tangle third. Kom Tong Hall had a big lead for about five furlongs and the pace was then fairly slow: Had this pony been kept steadily on instead of being held a different story might
have been told.
In the seventh race Total Abstin ence was for some obscure reason made favourite but was unplaced.

LM WAR CEP COMPETITION. Civilians... 3 China
This match was played on the H.K.F.C. ground. The attendance was good though not so large as expected owing to the early showers;
The game was well contested in spite of the slippery state of the ground and the Civilians won by accepting chances, whereas China Failed at the crucial moments.
Brittain of the Reserves, turned out for the Civilians in the absence of Howard, while for the Chinese Ko Sik Wai was at right half in place of Leung Yuk Tong who had been injured
Chint attacked vigorously from the kick off. but Hudson rallied, hia, forwards and Silva' taking a shot on the run sent the ball into the net well out of the reach of Pau Ka Ping-
Play became very fast with China having the advantage in pidield, but ball control close in was their undoing. Following an attack by the Civilians, China conceded a corner and from a well placed 'corner kick by Brown, Hudson sent the ball into the net.
The interval came with the score, Civilians 2 China 0.
The second half opened with the Civilians attacking but erratic shooting kept the score down until Silva gaining possession close in drove the ball into the net. Being three down, China played up afrongly but Wong Pak Chong," with only Rodger to beat, sent the ball straight at the goalie who cleared. Suen Kum Shua missed a chance, but China would not be denied and Lau Mau beat Rodger with a fast crom shot. China re- turned to the attack, but time was against them and the final whistle sounded with the score, Civilians 3. China 1.

of the Considering the state ground, football was of a high order and the Civilians were the better side. Accepting chances where their opponents failed, the Civilians took the lead early and never look- ed back. Chica. forwards did well the open but failed before F. Hemedios was the Rodger, C.
