Heavy Entries Received For Macao Races

Closing Of Hongkong Season Responsible For This Occurrence

(By "Captain Foster")

With the curtain down at Happy Valley, the Macno Jockey Club is reaping the benefit of Hongkong entries for their June Race Meeting to be held at Areia Preta on Sunday. Very heavy nomina- tions have been received for the Barra Handicap confined to the "D" class and the Monte Handicap for "E" class China ponies, and as a result the entries have been divided into two, sections at the discretion of the handicapper.

C. Macintosh, who were battling out the last length, by four-fifths of 'n second. Chan Po-yung led over the frat Jength and Macintosh over the second. These two were, neck-and- neck in the third when Marques forged ahead to snatch a thrilling victory. His spurt was well-timeil and he has the makings of a coming 2 champion.

A. K. Rumjahm clocked his fastest 100 in the 300 yards backstroke med- ley relay when he was timed at 73 secs., thus paving the way for the home team's victory in this event.
