The following telegram has been received by Mr. W. S. Jackson, Chairman of the Shanghai Race Club, from Lord Lonsdale, in acknowledgement of the Club's gift of £5,000, forwarded to London last week to complete the endowment of a ward in the hospital in the name of the Club:—
"Jackson, Race Club, Shanghai: Thank you for splendid munificent gift Charing Cross. This enables ward to be desigaated Shanghai Race Club ward, which unfortunately was not quite possible before. Lonsdale."
The gift completes the Race Club's contribution of £21,000 to the hospital. The money will be invested and will provide an income sufficient for the endowment of the 12 beds in the ward. We are sure the public generally will appreciate this method of distributing the funds.
