The weather was very unkind yesterday at Macao. Half an hour before the races rain came down in buckets and it looked as though the meeting would have to be abandoned, This, in addition to the Volunteers being out on manoeuvres, contributed to a poor attendance."
Some ten minutes before the first race was due to be run the rain cleared off, only to return with fresh vigour an hour later. The racing was interesting and considering the weather the fields were good. There were eight starters in two of the races and In the Ladles Race seven riders game under the starter's orders."
It was very sporting of His Ex- cellency Senhor Joao Pinto Crisos- tomo, with Captain L. Gomes his private secretary, to attend in such bad weather. All in all we had a very enjoyable meeting. The course was looking well, but it became very soft as the afternoon wore on and this caused punters to think harder.
