On the conclusion of business at the extraordinary general meeting of voting members of the Shanghai Race Club held on Monday, the Chairman of the Club, Mr. W. 8. Jackson, made feeling reference to the death of Mr. J. S. Fearon, a former Chairman of the Club, and of the Municipal Council. He referred in particular to the late Mr. Fearon's practical interest in the development of the Recreation Ground which, in his day, was in summer time used for the grazing of ponies and in winter for snipe shooting, but which, thanks largely to Mr. Fearon's interest and enterprise, had been developed as they now saw it, to the great benefit of the community, Mr. Jackson ask-articles Ed members to join with him in an expression of sympathy with Mrs. Fearon, Mr. Frank Fearon, his son, and Mrs. C. R. Burkill, his daughter.
The vote of sympathy was duly passed, and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
