Shanghai Autumn Race Meeting

Presentation to Well-known Police Officer: The Warbler and Rosebery Champions in Their Classes: Convincing Defeat of Warrenfiel popular Success in the Grand National It was unfortunate that rain came in time to affect the last day of the Shanghai Race Club's Autarin Meeting. It is true there wai not enough of it really to make things yycomfortable for the large number of people who attended, nor as so often has happened, was the course turned into a quagmire, but} the track was distinctly greasy on top and this made a great difference to many of the ponies, especially the Grand National.

Prior to the races, the Stewards gave the usual tiffin in the new stand to various distinguished vi ore, owners, jockeys and others and it seemed to be a more than usually happy occasion. A special feature was the presentation of an ingeribed silver salver to Mr. 'TM. Wilson, formerly of the Shanghai Municipal Police, whose tail figure was to be seen at every meeting of the club daring the past quarter of a century.
