FIRST RATE FOOTBALL Undoubtedly Saturday's football match between the Chinese and the Civilians in the Lai Wah Cup was the best match we have had
in the Colony for years. It was really exhilarating to
such Sce good play and if football in the Colony can be, kept at the stand- ard which we had on Saturday. there will be many more football "fans" than we have had to date. Never for a long time have we had a game in which Dame For- tune proved so tickle, for no one, knowing the strength of the Chi- nese team, could have predicted anything but a smashing victory" for them when they were leading by 3 goals to 1 at the interval But during the second half the Civilians played with renewed vig- our and undaunted by the fact that they were two goals dow?I. they went on to score four goals in rapid succession. Nor were the Chinese any the less enterprising for when they were down 3-5 they managed to draw level with, only a few minutes to go. It would be distinctly unfair to try and say
quite right in" stopping the contest when he did, for had he not done 50, Fraggott would have been de- clared the loser in any case, after more Dunishment taking some perhaps.
MACAO RACES What wonderful times were re gistered at Macao on Sunday? African Eve's 1.32.4" for six fur- long is almost unbelievable, but there is and I am sure from his performance in Macao he will go to the post at Happy Valley on Saturday with many supporters. Another pony which ran very well at Macao was The Loafer. He ran third in two races and with a bit of luck might have done better in his first appearance. Esk's victory in the ladies race caused no sur- prise, while Pure Music had such
a sitter ing race and was such that it would seem that this pony will have to be barred in the shorer races at Macao; if the racing is going to be even.
