THE SPRING MEETING
AT MACAO
Fine Race Predicted For "The Chairman's Cup"
(BY ** TATTENHAM ")
With the majority of our heal jockeys going over to Macau and some fairly large entries, the prospects of a successfu! Spring Meeting at Macao on Sunday' appears very bright.
Owing to the open nature of one or two races some good dividends should be paid." Six events and an unofficial Ladies' Race should prove to be a good "programme.
The opening event The Fat Shan Handicap. Second Section." "D" and "E" Class ponies. Six Furlongs has attracted fourteen entries, the best of these being Partnership (Liang-165 lbs.), Young Chap (165 lbs.). Sarabande (162 lbs.) and Fudge (158 lbs.). I ex- pect Young Chap to start in the. Chairman's Cup as the longer race will suit him Frost may ride Sarabande, in which case I mark him dangerous. K***

A DIFFERENT TALE
The second set told a different tale. Perry began to recover his form, and was from the start hit- ting the ball Erisply and not breaking down over the easy ones. Austin was still applying all pos- sible pressure, but a failure to put, away his volleys began to creep in, with the result that "his opponent covering the court like grey- hound, was able to retrieve them and pass him at the net. This took him to 3-love, and then to 41; but Austin aided by a little luck got up to all, only to lose the next two games and the set.
