TIPS FOR TO-MORROW'S
MEETING.
(By "Rambler.")
The principal fixture over the week-ond is the Race Meeting which takes place at Macao en Sunday afternoon. The first race is advertised to commenco ut 1,15 p.m. sharp and as the cutrics.com- stitute a record, felds should bo
on
the big side. A number of Hongkong ponies were sent over during the early part of the week and they doubtless will acquit themselves to the satisfaction of their supporters,
The prospects for this meeting odrtainly look very rosy. I had a look at the grass track during the week and I must say it is in ex- cellent condition, and, provided the weather remains unchanged; fast times and exciting races should be the order of the day..
The Pari-Mutuel and Cash Sweep will operate on all races and the fans who wish to have a mild "Butter" will be well provided for,
I regret am unable to give my "Candidates' Chances Considered" to-day as I have not had a chance to give the likely starters the "once over." However, if the ponies mentioned run to form they should manage to fill the places as under: 1st Race.
