MACAO RACES.
CONCLUSION OF THE SEASON.
PUNTERS HAVE BAD TIME.
EXCELLENT RACING IN SPITE OF HEAVY GOING,
[BY EARLY BIRD.]
II the public required some tangible proof of the growing popularity of the Macao Race Club Meetings it was shown by the fact that in spite of the weather a large crowd attended the 9th Extra Meeting which was held at Macao yesterday afternoon.
Quite a number of upsets of form occurred during the meeting which, however, did not interfere with the enthusiasm of backers who, despite their losses, continued to put money on the favourites.
Dr. Reidy who was not seen, in the saddle nevertheless had a good day aa hi pony Tarmacadam annexed the "B" Class Hazdieap and paid the very good dividend of 800.70 for a win and $13.40 for a place. Tarzan who also belongs to. Dr. Raidy won the last race and also returned a very good dividend of - $48.30 for a win and $21.20 for a place.
Mr. K. H. Chua headed the list of winning jockeys by piloting four winners and one third. A
The stowards were called upon to settle two objections, the first by Mr. Chun against Mr. Proulx for interference which was disallowed and the second against Mr. Chun who was called before the Stewards and finally disqualified for crossing Glory with Zircon II in the Sellers Plate. Zircon was put up for auction previous to the finding of the Stewards who subsequently disallowed the sale and awarded the race to Glory, Chin Hoi and Wildfellow.
