MACAO.
In the town there are several places of interest, apart from the Fan-tan or gam- bling saloons. The gardens and Grotto of Camoens, once the resort of the celebra'ed Portuguese Port Camoens, are worth seeing, as also the noble façade of the ancient Jesuit church of San Paulo, burnt in 1835. Pleasant excursions can be made to the Hot Springs of Yô-mak, about sixteen miles from Macao, easily reached in about three and a-half hours by steam launch. In winter snipe are plentiful in the neighbouring paddy fields and afford good sport. The "Macao Hotel," situated on the Praia, is comfortable and the prices are moderate.
The Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steau:boat 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. The population of Macao, according to returns made in 1879, was Chinese, 63,532; Portuguese, 4,476; other nationalities, 78; or a total of 68,086.
