Newman (Secretary), The annual race meeting of the Shanghai Paper Hunt Club was held on the Shanghai Racecourse on Saturday afternoon, in ideal weather, the sun shining brightly throughout the afternoon and the track being hard and fast.. It was a most interesting programma of sport, but unfortunately narredoy a serious accident to Mr. J. A. Hayes in the second race of the day—the Jorrocks Cup Steeplechase. Mr. Hiayes was on Tivoli and the pony was going very well until the back straight was entered for the second time. Before Probst Jump was reached he was seen to stumble and at the jump itself he came down. Mr. Hayes' foot was caught in the stirrup and the pony rolled over his leg, breaking the right leg just below the knee, a little way above the place where Mr. Hayes' leg had previously been broken. The flag was hoisted, calling for a doctor, and Dr, Billinghurst went to the scene of the accident. Mr. Hayes was carried in on a stretcher, but, before being removed to hospital, remained in a room at the Race Club long enough to ascertain that his pony Tiga had gained second place in the Club Challenge Cup. There were a couple of minor accidents in other steeplechases, Red Pepper throwing Mr. Sweeting at Probst Jump in the Club Challenge Cup, and Greenback unseating Mir. Moon ay the Grand Stand Wall in the Stewards' Cup, but fortunately in these instances the jockeys escaped serious injury.
