MACAO.
In the town there are several places of interest, apart from the Fantan or gam- bling saloons. The gardens and Grotto of Camoens, once the resort of the Portuguese Poet Camoens, are worth seeing, as also the noble façade of the ancient Jesuit church of Sm. Paulo, burnt in 1835. Pleasant excursions can be made to the Hot Springs of Yô-mak, about sixteen miles from Mac, easily reached in about three and a-half hours by steam launch. In winter snipere plentiful in the neighbouring paddy fields and afford good sport. The "Macao Hotel," situated on the Praia, is comfor- table and the prices are moderate.
The Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company runs a daily steamer (Sundays excepted) between Macao and Hongkong, leaving the former port at 8 o'clock a.m. and Hongkong at 2 p.m. To Canton there is a steamer on every alternate day, Sundays excepted. The distance from Macao to Hongkong is 401 miles, and to Canton 88 miles.
