MACAO RACES.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
ROMANCE AND INTRIGUE
HONGKONG PONIES WIN MOST EVENTS,
[By "Ringlail.)
Enticing weather and the pro-
·spects of a good day's sport were the cause of a largo attendance at the tenth extra race meeting of the Macao Race Club yesterday after.
noon,
The principal event of the meet was the success of Mr. H... Priestley, the President of the Club, I think this gentleman de- serves the highest praise for his sportmanship in sending his best ponies to Macao, and I have no doubt that the lead he has set will be followed by the majority of the Hongkong owners, who, I am sure, wish to see this Club holding the position it deserves.
In point of importance, I think the Governor of Macao's candidate, Veloz, in winning the "C" Claas Handicap, comes next. This pony, which has been carefully trained Hongkong by Mr. Priestley, has im proved wonderfuly and won his race yesterday quite handily, de spite the fact that he was carrying seven pounds over his handicap weight.
fisty Eve, a contender of the Eve Stable, lowered the colours of Ma Kau Siuc, the Macao crack, in the Aggragole Stakes, the principal race of the meeting. A cash sweep of $1 per ticket was sold on this event, and the winning ticket, No. 6525, for $1,708.00, was drawn by Mr. Chu merchant of Macno. Owing to the short notice, the full number of tickets was not sold However, I am certain this sweep will be well patronised at the next meeting.
