Race Course, Macau, to-morrow, commencing at 2 p.m.

It was in-Race No. 1 deed a pity that the previous meeting was marred by inclement wea- ther, in consequence of which the attendance suffered considerably, but for to-morrow the prospects look particularly bright, and con- tinuation of the present fine weather will no doubt serve as added inducement to racing fans from Hong Kong to make the excursion trip to Macau.

There were originally seven events on the programme, one of which has, as usual, been specially reserved for lady riders, but due to insufficient entries for the Ma Kau Siac Handicap, for non- winning subscription griffins of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, this has had to be cancelled, thus leaving only six races to be contested. It seems a pity that local owners are not giving the Macau Race Club adequate support, in spite of the offer of free transportation.

Outsider:-Burgomaster

The Colowan Handicap, over five furlongs for non-winning subscrip- tion griffins of the Macau Jockey Race. No. 4 Club, will probably see the follow- ing starters :--

Baroda (Mr. H. C. Pih), Clunie- house (Mr. Y., T. Fung), Coureur Bleu (Mr. K.I. Ip), Hopefulleg (Mr. Ip Kui Ying) Prussian Plane (Mr. N. Deitz) and Wood Nymph (Mr. S. C. Liang).

Interesting boxing was witnessed at Murray Barracks last night when the finals of the Hong Kong Area Novices Individual Champion-as the best among the entries, as ship's were held.

The prizes were distributed Brigadier F. Bissett.

THE RESULTS

Hopefulleg is evidently regarded

it has been allotted top weight, and by in spite of this I fancy that it will

win, with Prussian Plane and Cluniehouse third.

The following were the results: Lightweight (Semi-final)—Fus. Bray (R.W.F.) t.k.o. Rfn. Spence (R.U.R.); L/Cpl. Tague (Seaforths) beat Fus. Ryan (R.W.F.). ·Final.—L/Cpl. Tague beat Fus. Bray.

Although there are only three

First Division: League football encounters down" for "decision this afternoon, two of them should provide very interesting fare, especially the clash between the Rifles and Eastern, both of whom are sending teams to Manila in the near future.

The Rifles recently lost the services of L/Cpl. Campbell, their pivot, who left the Colony for home yesterday by the trans- port Dorsetshire, and Galbraithe, of the juniors, will probably be brought in to fill the vacancy.

Two points ahead of South China "A" in the same number of games played, the Rifles must win their remaining three games, including to-day's, to secure the champion- ship.

MUST CREATE IMPRESSION

Eastern, who leave the Colony on April 22 for Manila, will go all out for a win to-day so as to create a very favourable impression on their arrival in the Philippine capi- tal. They have a fairly strong team and have scored more than one surprise win to-date.

In the other interesting fixture, Kowloon are at home to South China "A" and here another rare tussle should result with the odds on the Chinese, who will go all out to avenge the defeat they sustain- ed in their first clash, when Archer, Race of the Worcesters, who was playing they in the Kowloon attack, scored thể star-only goal of the match.
