The start for the ordinary hunt on Saturday was over the newly erected wooden bridge near the Hermitage at Sicawei. The first obstacle was the drop jump, which is such a cramped one that a good many could not get a fair chance at it and there was consequently considerable grief. However, Sugar Curie, with Mr. Renny up, distinguished himself by taking it very nicely. The next jump was not a formidable one, but it was deep and full of water, and one gentlemen learned how deep it was by personal experiment. The usual Hungjao ran was then followed, the latter part of the course being over the Handicap bridge, through the Fahwah village, down the false Jessfield line, across the flat, the finish being over a jump near to the Tidal Creek. The result wa Mr. A. W. Burkill Shanghai Race Club, Shanghai, 7th December, 1897.
