Field of Fifty-five Riders Led Home by E. Leighton T.S. Neppo in a Deadheat Finish R. E. C. Leighton on Athene rode one of his typical racing finishes to run Mr. T. S. Neppo on M. Lago's Gaucho to a dead heat in the Interport Hunt recently at Paomachang.
This was the first occasion on which Peiping and Tientsin shared the honours in an Interport win.
A field of fifty-five riders (the largest in Peiping Interport history) was composed of thirty-four lightweights—seventeen from each club—and twenty-one heavyweights—eleven from Peiping and ten from Tientsin.
They were supported by a large number of followers, photographers and friends attracted to Paomachang by the most important event of the riding season.
