THE MACAO RACES.
A VERY SUCCESSFUL MEETING.“
GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
ARRANGEMENTS.
[BY EARLY BIRD.)
A big crowd journeyed over to the neighbouring Colony to witness the seventh extra race meeting of the International Race and Recreation Club which was held at Macao yesterday under ideal weather conditions.
The racecours presented a very pretty sight all bedecked in", flags and bunting and quite a feature was the large number of ladies present, many delightful summer frocks being seen.
The new officials were busy from the moment of their arrival at the course and they deserve special mention for the thorough and business like manner in which everything was conducted.
On the whole the racing was excellent and the arrangements clearly showed that great improvements in the administration of the Raer Club have been made by the Officials. “
The Pari-Mutuel and the Sweeps were well supported, some of the dividends being exceptionally good,
In the 4th and 6th races the winner paid 854.40 for a win and $40.80 for a place. This was the best return of the day...
Mr. Charles and Mr. Clarke who rode two winners each wate the most successful jockeys of the day.
Amongst the local racegoers I noticed the cheery face of Mr. K. H. Chun who has just returned from a trip to Shanghai where, ho purchased a number of now ponies.
As before, the genial Secretary, Mr. S. W. Cheng, had a very busy day and quite a deal of the success of the meeting could be attributed to his untiring efforts on behalf of the Race Club.
Mr. P. M. Hodgson, the starter, was in great form and succeed. od in getting every field away to rattling good start, some per- formance I can assure you when it is remembered that the opening race was for jockeys who have not passed out of the novice clean.
