MACAO SIAC WINS AGGREGATE STAKES.
SOME INTERESTING RESULTS.
[BY EARLY BIRD.)
In glorious sunshine the last meeting of the International Recy and Recreation Club was decided at Macao yesterday afternoon. Backers were not badly treated considering the fact that out of the six events in the programme three favourites were downed.
The principal race of the meeting provided a ding dong finish between two of the contestants Ma Aau Site and My Lady which eventually resulted in the defent of the last named who started favourite. Ma Kau Side annexing the Cup with the big margin of 19 points...
