Shanghai, Nov. 26. was held yesterday afternoon and although Old Man Winter's Thirteenth Extra Race Meeting of the Shanghai Race Club first visit to Shangha deterred many race-goers from attending, the turnover in several races was very large.
Favourites and well~' fancied ponies ran into the money thus keeping the punters satis~ fied, The Thames Handicap, one of the principal events of the day, brought out seven starters and Bagshot, the strongest public fancy, fully justified his popularity by galloping home the winner by two lengths, beating an outsider in Clunicburn.
The second favourite, WI Parade, filled the remaining berth a length away. This pony missed the assistance of Night Express who has always been a useful pace-maker for him and without Night Express to make i 'a fast race White Parade was completely at a loss and was easily beaten at the last quarter by Bagshot and Clunieburn, The field was well bunched until the Loong-fei Gate where Chen Poo found Clunieburn a handful and sent him into the lead. He maintained his position until the last furlong where the winner passed him, White Parade also spurted past him but Clunieburn came: on again strongly to beat White Parade by a length. Busted Straight came from behind to challenge White Parade for third place but lost by a neck.
'The Irwell Handicap, A class, also brought out a good field and' Car nival, tie winner, really won more easily than the three-quarters of a Yengthy Indica'es. The Frigate was second and Rochimpton third.
