Radiant Morn a True Champion

Rochester Places Second, Four Lengths Behind, and Boston Drill Takes Good Third NPUERE has always been magic for Shanghai in the word "Champions," and last Wednesday was no exception to the rule, despite all adverse circumstances that have come upon the city during the past months.

Though perhaps attendance was not as great as in past years, though there was no doubt that backers were more cautious, the Shanghai Race Club's Autamn Race Meeting's crowning day was every bit as attractive for the true racegoer as it has ever been.

With this victory, F, (Peanut) Marshall rode his fourth winner in five consecutive Champions starts.

In the Autumn Race Meeting of 1933 he first brought Opera Eve in a Champion, re-eating in the spring of 1934, In the autumn of 1934 he managed second with the same pony, vindicating this defeat by bringing Opera Eve in a Champion for the third time in the Spring mecting of this year.

He has now ridden another Champion, Radiant Morn, who, from present indications at least, should do every whit as well as his famous predecessor.

Dav, Tursoay, Nov, 1905
