Macao Racing Resumes With Sunday's September Meeting Special Sweep On Governor's Cup: Aquatic Gala Activity
First Prize Over $10,000 Portuguese Jockeys In Making
AFTER AN ELAPSE of a few months the Macao Jockey Club will resume racing on Sunday and very satisfactory entries have been received for their Soptember meeting at Areia Prota.
The most important evant on the programme of six races is the Governor's Cup presented by the Macao Governor and the cup is to be won twice in succession by a "D" class China pony or ponies, the bona fide property of the same owner or
owners.
My best three are Black Diamond, National Anthem and Hopeful Time.
Perth Handicap
It is interesting to recall that six furlongs and it looks very the last Governor's Cup (don- Jopen. ated by the late Dr A. T. de Sousa Barbosa) won outright was captured by Meadow Eve belonging to Mr Liang Hau- yuen, the Chinese senator of the Macao Legislative Council.
However, the new trophy, kindly presented by His Excellency Com- mander G. M. Teixeira, bas attracted no less than 14 nominations and It may please the Macao Governor to know that a good Beld will face the start
Though class does not predominate among the entry, we have a few top notchers and the event has a double altraction owing to a special dollar cash sweep being conducted,"
It is learned that the sale is now approaching the 25,000 mark and This should give the lucky drawer of the first pony a prize of over $10,000.
Coming Jockey
Only Four Entries THE Perth Handicap for "E"
class Australian ponies could not draw more than four entries and it is a sprint over five furlonga.
Rising Star, winner of the Hobart Handicap at the June meeting, haa been well looked after and the mar- gin of many lengths win has cost the pony 10 lb. penalty.
Strong opposkion is sure to come from Buckfastleigh, and the bay In my estimation should win,

In view of the fact that this class of racers is not provided with a race at Happy Valley until at the Double Tenth meet, it is a pity that the fongkong owners have
not given more support, However, Maple Star is not in very good condillon, for the mare did not summer well.
National Victory should not have any difficulty to claim the first prize with Tobaccoship in the rear,
