The Macao Races did not draw very large attendance although those who made the trip saw some close contests. The helds were on the small side, the biggest being right starters in the last race of the day where an outsider came along to pay $110 for a win. In three other races there were six starters and in the remaining three events there were two, three and four starters respectively. In the race with two starters. Widnes won from Spotted Leaf to earn himself an extra seven pounds this Satur day in the Mount Davis Handicap where the handicapper has allotted him bottom weight (140 pounds).
Black Velvet was in great fettle on Saturday and if only he can run at Happy Valley as he did at Macao is supporters would be much bet lex satisfied than they have been so far, for inck Velvet has been a thorough disappointment at Happy Valley. He is entered in the Hunenbacks Plate over five furlongs and might do well. Carpation II. provided Mr. F. Label with his first success in many years and now that this jockey has scored a win may he score many more successes This season!
.
Had the teams been better tean. balanced, even the fact that there were only two starters would not have mattered, but as it was the team are could not be said to have been much of a success. Otherwise the sports meeting was one of the best seen in the Colony for a long time.

Some very kesn racing was seen at the Wah Yan College's athletic

The rowing races, in particular, were much enjoyed and although the water was too rough to permit of good rowing, yet some very keen races were scen. The V.R.C. are to be congratulated on winning the senior pairs and I am aure their success will spur them on to bigger achievements in the future. There was much specula tion before the races as to how they would compare with the other competitors and after Saturday they can now look forward to the next meeting with much more con- fidence. The novices fared badly, and I am told that their light weight was a handicap which they found difficult to overcome,

A feature of the meeting was the fact that as many as 417 competi- tors took part.

date, it is not likely that these teams can complete their fixtures as they have only four more daya to play all their matches. fact that the Second and Third division championships could be completed according to schedule, shows that there is no reason why the senior teams should fail to de so, especially since the junior cham- pionships have twenty-four matches to play, compared with twenty-two of the Senior. It is to be hoped that the League management will change the date of closing, but, ac- cording to the rules, they have no Power to do so, and therefore there. seems only one alternative-that the Senior championship of 1933 will have to remain undecided.
Athletics
One of the best athletic' ineelings seen in the Colony for the past few years was held on Friday last at Sookungoo when the Hong Kong Area held their sports, The Mili- tary units in Hong Kong have plenty of good athletes in their midst and it was a revelation to see so many printers taking part, in the races. The hurdles was the best event of the day, and with four men in each team doing 220 yards each one can wall imagine what a treat it was to watch this race. The Borderers finished first in most of the races and walked away with the team championship. Jump event in which Lt. Cresswell

The Mamak Hockey Tournament has just been concluded, the Radio Sports Club being champions for the second year in succession. The Radio should have shared the honours with the Incognitos, but the latter withdrew from the tournament after some controversy with the organising committee over the fixed date of the completion of all the matches. As a fitting climax to a successful season, the cham- pions played the Rest of the Les- gue on Saturday and upheld their

12. The Cement Companies in India have made and are continu- ing to make heavy sacrifices in their efforts to meet this unfair competition, but the heavy fall in the Japanese exchango has in- creased their difficulties and un- less some assistance is rendered by Government, there is a grave danger that the present, wide dis- parity between output and offtake will be increased still further, which will bring about a curtail ment of production, resulting in further unemployment, loss of traffic to the railways, loss of trade to the Indian Coal fields, the Jute Industry and various other interests which will be seriously affected by any decline in the Indian Cement Industry.

In presenting our Government for protection against the dumping of cheap Japanese cement in this country, mainly on account of the depreciation in the Japanese currency, we would in- stance a parallel case which took place in South Africa in the years -1920 to 1928. During that period Belgium was able to quote sosurd ly low prices for cement supplied to South Africa, not only because the manufacturing cost was low, but also primarily on account of depreciated currency.
