MACAO RACE CLUB.

THIRD EXTRA RACE MEETING.

AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS.

[BY RAPIER.1.

Fine weather favoured the above Meeting and the recent rain not only had the effect of cooling the nir hilt also of considerably improving the Course. The grass had simply sprung into exist new and the san kept it sufficiently dry to make the gaing easy. The Taishan brought a big party from Hong Kong and the people of Macats were present in full force to complete à picture; well worth seeing. His Exerthogy the the Governor of Macas and her

·Excellency honoured the Meeting with this presence.

There was no shortage of rideys as the services of Messrs. Pollock, Bulteel, Reidy, Stunton, Roza, Charles, and Morgan were available while several prominent Hong Kong turfites were pre- sent including Messrs. F. Sutton, R.E.Ost., M. M. Wason, Harold Seth, . M. Hodgson, F. B. Reed. Mr. Sutton asted #s Judge assisted by Mr. Seth and Mfr. Ost officiated as timekeeper.

The price of pari-mutual tickets was increased from $3 to 35 and the dividends were good.

Dr. Margowan's Sunburst Rose won two races and finished as fresh as a daisy at the end. He was ridden by Messrs. Reidy and. Charles rispectively. This pong seems to appreciate being sent to Macao and one wonders what he would do if given a trip to Shanghai where he would only li called upon to compete with nimals in the China pony class.

Reviewing in the Chamber the progress of Italy under the Fas- eist régime, Signor Mussolini, the Prime Minister, described a8 stupid and cowardly the assertions mado abroad that 200,000 Italians had bean banished.

cominon He said that 1,527 criminals had been sent into con- finement, and as for politicinus, 1,541 had been warned, 958, had been summoned before the judicial authorities, and 698 had been banished.

The banished politicians wero concentrated on two islands and were divided from those sent thi ther for common offences. No am- nesty would be granted before 1923.

This was not a reign of terror but of strictness. It was a matter, The perhaps, of sucial hygiene. opposition parties in Italy were finished with. An opposition was not necessary for the functioning of a healthy political system, and 3 was superfluous in a solid régime

Inflexible Discipline.

At the end of the fifth year of the régime their forces were com pact, sulid,, unshakable. Discipline was inflexible. At the Govern- ment's side there was a Fascist Party that had improved its ranks. Youth in ten years would renew

ite ranks. The trade unions were making wonderful progress. By their side there were all the living forces of culture and of intellect. the living economic and banking forces. No other Government had a vaster or deeper foundation than the Italian Government,

A man or a woman is as old as he or she feels, and not as he or she looks. It has been said that a woman who conceals her age is for a benefactor to her sex, through her determination to re- main young she has set up a superior standard of health, sho herself being aware of the fact that by shortening her hair and adopting modern methods of dress she has, so far as personal ap- pearance is concerned, tempor- arily modified the visible marks of time.

Age is not, however, a matter of years, but of changes in the tissues, so that so long as woman does her best to keep her mind and body young, she is young,

Probably the middle period of life leaves more outward signs upon women than men. For- tunately the change is not uni- versal, for many women are just as handsome, attractive, good- looking, and of well-propove fore ed figure us in the years, the middle period of life, and those much-adraired qualities are carried on into old age when the woinen retain those attributes which charm all who are brought into contact with them.

The amount of sleep required is largely a personal and a family matter. Some people require; moro sleep than others, while others, again, imagine they need' more sleep than is necessary.

If by the time a man or woman has reached middle ago he or she has not become his or her own physician as regards food, then no lesson has been learnt from the experience of previous years. Less food, rather than more, is zafer for most people when they Are graduating towards seventies.
