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 Macao Jockey Club is reaping the benefit of Hongkong entries for their June Race Meeting to be held at Arcia Preta on Sunday. Very heavy nomina. tions have been received for the Barra Handicap confined to the "D" class and the Monts Handicap for "E" class China panies, and as a result the entries have been divided into two sections at the discretion of the handicapper,

Everything points to a good afternoon of racing, but non- Chinese race-goers, who are making the excursion trip, will have to bring their passports. The s.s. Taishan will leave at 9.30 am., returning from Macno at 8 p.m.

V.R.C. WIN FRIENDLY MEETING

Victoria Recreation Club entertain- ed Chung Shing Benevolent Society Swimming Section in o friendly con- test in their pool yesterday evening before a fair number of spectators, when they won by 17 points to 13, the events being run on the potats system, 3 for a win, 2 for second and 1 for third.

The best event on the programme was the 100 yards breast-stroke In which J. Marques, a very young swimmer, caused an upset by snatch- ing first place from Chan Po-yung and C. Macintosh, who were battling out the last length, by four-fifths of a second. Chan Po-yung led over the the first length and Macintosh over second. These two were neck-und- neck in the third when Marques forged ahead to snate's a thrilling victory. His spurt was well-timer: and he has the makings of a coming clinmpion.

A. K. Rumjahn 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.

V.R.C. also won the 330 yards free- style relay for teams of six, D, H Taylor, clocking 23 sercnds, swim- inlng ns second man for the winning team.

The water-polo Catch which brought the enjoyable programume to successful conclusion was won by the visitors by 6 goals to 3, their better understanding and fine com bination paving the way for the victory.

A more detailed description of yesterday's events and commentary en the swimmers participating wil. be published on Saturday morning in; the Swimming Notes.
