MACAO RACES.
EXCELLENT SPORT PROMISED.
TWELFTH EXTRA RACE MEETING.
[BY EARLY BIRD.]
There are 18 starters in the first race, 11 in the second, 91 in the third. 14 in the fourth. 21 in the fifth, and 14 in the last. With auch liberal entries in each event, big folds are assured and in consequence better finishes. Quite a number of Hong Kong ponies are catered which I am of opinion, will give a very good Account of themselves. Some of the ponies recently acquired by the Macao Club will be sporting silk for the first time which should give an element of uncertainly to some of the races as far as wo Hong Kongites are concerned as it is almost impossible-to.. get any information about the doings of ponies in training, at Mazno

The Anal race for the Aggregate Stakes will be probably the beat 'race in this event as it is rumoured that the Chairman of the Macao Club, Mr. H. H. H. Priestley, will endeavour to revenge the defent of his candidate by Ma Ka Sine when last they met by sending out Minty Ber. Mr. N. Hashin will also send Indy and uning in this event, which should provide a rattling good contest.

The Sub-Grimes Handicap.
• Morgli, one of the most consist ent performers we have ever had locally looks a cinch if started in this event. I confess he has a lot of weight to carry still. he is well able to do it and he is about the moat honest little pingger I bave ever seen. Loyal Henchman, should get a place if sent to the post in this ovent, or the Farmer, who, I am told, has improved wonderfully since his
last run at Macao. Caesar should be watched although I fancy he has ecen the best part of his racing days..
The Macao Handicap. Mr. H. H. H. Priestley, the Chairman of the Club, has reaped "Home" reward for patience, with Misty Eve who seems to be coming to the form he has been thought capable of showing. He won it great style from Fifty Fifty at the last Hong Kong meeting in the very good time of 9.05 which is a most useful performance and even with, a seven pound penalty over weight for inches he should score as this is not such a big weight when his convincing performances of late are taken into consideration. How erer, he may be reserved for the Aggregate Stakes in which case he is also a certainty. Fanling Stay with such a light burden may be expected to run well although I am inclined to think he is not so well since, his discouraging display at Fanling last month. "Bright Prot pect can always be expected to do bis best and U. Un II. can certain- ly go the distance.
The December Selling Plate. Dr. S. To Wong has two cap- didates entered in this event; the best of which is Ullswater who looks to have a very good chance of winning here, his other nomina tion, Grey Eyes, is not quite so good but should stand a chance of

The December Novices Race, Aristophanes looks to be the right candidate for this event and after bis run at the Valley last week I honestly think this race is a cer tainty for him. Desert Find may start here and as I hear he is an. improved pony I would remind backers to keep on the look out for him. Doubtful may be fit enough to do once around and should just about secure a place if his tempera ment will allow him to forget that racing is his business.

At King's Park, the Club de Recreio meet the KO.S.B. The Military team is settling down, although Torrie does not make up the attack like Campbell Reeves is a tower of strength, while Stock! and McGlinchey "give him every as- sistance.
The Recreio players are in" and out this season. They have been hard hit to field the same team in two consecutive matches. Last week they shared eight goals with the Athletic without the brothers It is expected that A. Gosano will lead the attack to-day, The K.0.6.B. expected to take the points.

At Sookunpoo, the B.A. receive the Club. This game should be keenly contested and the Club should repeat their last week result when they beat the Navy.

Only five games are to be played in the Junior division this week The University, through failing to fall their fixtures have been struck out of the League,
