RAIN INTERFERES WITH BOWLS MATCH IN KOWLOON

MACAO RACING RESUMES ON SUNDAY

A SPECIAL DOLLAR SWEEP CONDUCTED ON SOUTH CHINA CUP Shanghai 4 Will Find It Hard To Carry Off The Main Event Of The Day

(By "Captain Foster")

Fairly good entries have been received for the September Race Meeting of the Macao Jockey Club to be held at Macao on Sunday, this being the first gymkhann after the recess. The opening event will be run at 2 p.m.

February inceting of this season, Hopefulleg was on the walking Hist for a long time. He retumed to the course on June last with a pair of cotton bandages on his forelegs and the nag did not run too badly in the Areia Preta Handicap. Hopefulleg has been kindly treated and I would recommend him for a long shot.

There are seven attractive con-, outings of last year, but after the tests, the main being the South China Cup over a mile confined to Macho subscription ponies. A special dollar cash sweep la being conducted on the race.

After on clapse of over two months, it is not to be expected that all the pontes will be running to their true form, but nevertheless a good day's sport is assured.

Some people concede John Brom- wich, the Australian, chance of dethroning Budge owing to the fact that the American was far under par In the Davis Cup Challenge Round, Two reasons have been advanced for Budge's loss of form, (1) he has played too much tennis, having been active for a year and a half at a streich and (2) he is only just re- cuperating from સુ bad cold.-- Reuter

GOVERNOR'S SIDE ENTERTAINED BY CLUB DE RECREIO

TEN HEADS COMPLETED IN TRYING CONDITIONS

(By "Abo")

It was a pity that rain fell so heavily that play had to be abandoned in the bowls, match between the Club do Recreio and a team from Government House, led by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, at King's Park yesterday. Players on both sides had looked forward very keenly to the game, but the rain which started soon after the commencement complete. ly marred what had promised to be an enjoyablo afternoon.

After the first shower, It looked na If the rain might hold off long enough for the encounter to be com- pleted. However, it was not to be. Actually, ten heads were played on cach of the three rinks; but the last few were completed under somewhat trying

In view of the fact that it rained continuously for nearly an hour at King's Park, I was somewhat sur- prised, therefore, to return to this side of the harbour and learn that no rain had fallen during this period on the laland! How unfortunate that the match was not played in Hongkong; or if it only had rained In Hongkong instead of Kowloon!

The Club do Recrelo, who this year have won the championship of the First and Second Divisions of the League, the Open Pairs and the Open Rinks, did not field their senior team. The Government side included several First Division

men and amongst the other members of the team, besides His Excellency the Governor, were the Colonial Secre- tary, the Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith, and His Honour the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice R. E, Lindsell.

Due to the rain, the green Was extremely heavy and the players, Manchester, Mass, Sept. 8.
