Srcoxp Day, Friday, 3rd November, 1882.
As very little rain had fallen on Thursday night, the Course was lighter to-day there was a great improvement in the running. The weather was much the sane as on the previous day; the sun shone out at intervals, but the sky was Jeaden, and there was a cold piercing wind blowing which made it anything but com-ortable for those who occupied the rails, e Stand. 'The attendance was m Thursday; the ladies' balcony was fairly filled; there was the average number at the rails and almost the usual crowd of Chinese around the Course. 'As may have been expected several pots were upset and many returned from the Stand sadder, if not wiser, than when they came.' Not one of the prophecies of Z, were realized. But he has not been any further out in his reckoning than the most diligent attenders at the Course of a morning, and the most learned in pony racing. Few, if any, thought it it possible on Thursday night that Ihite Knight could beat Monte: xma in the Leger. he former had been spotted as flyer before the Spring meeting but went slightly amiss in the training, and was rather messed in the races he started for. He isa beautifully shaped, blood-lik pony, and spreadeagied his field toa manner that shows that when i' the vein he is dangerous to stand against. The Shanghai St. Leger was won by Mr. Henry's White Knight, the Shanghai Stakes by Mr. Kerfoot's First Cornet and the Autumn Cup by Me. Risk's Stratharos. The honours were very fairly Givided; only one owner succeeded in win ning two races, viz., Mr. Bills, who carried off the Northern and Welter Cups with Gang Forward, ridden by himself. BIr. Hutchings won'the Shanghai Stakes on Mr. Kerfoot's First Cornet and the Autumn Cup an Mr. Risk's Stratharos. Mr. Ogle also won two races, viz., the Llama Mian Stakes on Mr, Fokien's' Helios, and the Mongol Cup on Mr. Seraph's Forest King. The other winning mounts were:—'he Shanghai St. Leger, Mr. Nicholson on Mr, Henry's White Knight; and the Sycee Stakes, Mr. Reynell on Mr. Kremor's Rialto.
