MACAO RACES.

MA KAU SIAC TURNS THE TABLES ON MISTY EVE.

SUCCESSFUL HANDICAP VENTURE.

(Br EARLY BIRD.]

Brilliant weather favoured the Hacao Race Club's Macao Fair Gymkhana which was held at Macao yesterday afternoon in the presence of a very large crowd including many visitors from Hong Kong and Canton.

The .. Lungshan was specially put on the run and for the convenience of those who wished to see the opening of the fair, left at 11 am. on Saturday morning. She also left Hong Kong at 9.30 a.m. yesterday returning at 5.45.

Hotel accommodation was taxed to the utmost and many visitors found difficulty in obtaining suitable quarters for the night. However, sportsmen are sports all the world over and quite ■ sumber of good fellows gave up the rooms which their good "judgment had told them to book well ahead, and handed them over to the married folks who fully appreciated the kindness shown them. Visitors should realize that since the Macao Race Club took a hand in supplying the chief sporting Axture of Macao things have livened considerably. In future everybody who intends to stay over the Saturday night before a race meeting should make arrangements, early.

H.E. The Governor of Macao was present at the meeting and thanks to the initiative of our hard working President was able to obtain a capital view of the races from a point of vintage on the left of the Judges' box.

The improvements I mentioned in my notes on Saturday were a boon to those concerned and whet other alterations have been completed we shall soon be able to say that the Manso Race Course is one of the best little courses in the Far East.

A VETERINARY SURGEON NEEDED.

It is a regrettable fact that ninety per cent, of the ponies trained in Macao appear to be tight skinned and have a more or lens washed out appearance, due no doubt to the want of veterin- Ary attention: I am sure this could be easily rectified arrange- ments were made for a European veterinary surgeon to pay` an 'occasional visit to the stables. No one likes to see, these unfor- tinate tucked up little beasts endeavouring to do their best to keep up with a field when their proper place should be in the stable receiving the care and attention they deserve.

The most successful jockey at the meeting was Mr. T. L. Wong who piloted two winners and two thirds. Mr. G. U. da Roza who accounted for two winners and one third was a close second.

Twenty different owners shared in the twenty-four different stakes which is a very fair average considering there were only thirty-seven owners at the meeting
