SHANGHAI RACE CLUB.
The annual meeting of the members' of the above Club was held on Thora- day evening, February 21st at the Shanghai Club, and there were present-Messrs. A. McLeod (chairman), W. Howie, J. Macgregor, O. Schuffenhauer and F. C: Blahop (Stewards), F. Maitland, A. Cusbuy, A. J. Macray, G. Sachau, C. Rudoloph, W. Cance, F. B. Aubert, F. Huchting, A. P.. Wood H. J, Limby, C. A. L Dunn, G. W. Noel, C. J. Ashley, F. Gove. L Moore, H. Sylva, P. A. W. Oltomeier, W. B. Loam, C. Möller, C. Cole, Ruff, H. Symons, H, Maitland, S. Walker, A. E. Jones, R. H. Gore Booth, G. Galles, J. W. Gande, J. Fournel and Barnes Dallas (Secretary).
The Chairman, said-The business of the meeting is to pass ibe accounts for last year and elect Stewards and Balloting Committed for this, The accounts have been in your hands some days, and I hope they will be taken as satis. factory. Some of the items on the debit side show that there has been an increase, but the money has been spent in a satisfactory manner, Tis. 500 extra, have been expended to keep the course in order and we are indebted to Mi E. H. Core-Booth, the Clerk of the Course, for what he has done. Among the repairs there has been an increase of Th1,400 over the previous year owing to the cost of providing a room for jockeys, a sum well spent in providing comfort and convenience for members of the Club. The other items are about the same as in the previous year. In prizes; we paid Tis. 12,052 against Tls. 10,752, the expenditure being a satisfactory way of disposing of the Club's funds. On the credit side the subscriptions are some Tis, 50 or 60 less: than the previous year, but the entries are some Tis. 400 in excess of 1887. We have paid the purchase money of the "Belle Vue," and given a mortgage of Tis, 7,000 on liberal terms, and we think this has been a satisfactory way of doing things. We are negotiating for the lease of the * Belle Vue" for one year at a rate which will give us a fair remuneration on the outlay, and we are trying to arrange to have the use of a portion of the ground at the back of the premises to put up extra stabling if it is found necessary." I propose that-
"The Accounts as presented be approved, and passed."
I may mention that the sum received as com- mission from the Pari-Mutuel was given fa prizes.
Mr. Macgregor-I beg to second the resolu tion.
On being put to the 'meeting it was carried unanimously.
The Chairman-The next business is to elect the Stewards and the Balloting Committee for the ensuing year, We inserted an advertisement in the Daily News asking for names of those will- ing to serve to be sent in but as there were no names sent in, we have taken the names of those 'who served last year.
The Chairman explained that Mr. Bishap would make way for Mr. Mackenzie if it could be stated for certain that he would be willing to hold office. on his return, but as no one could give any information, on the subject, and there being no new names habided in, he proposed and Mr. C. A. L. Dunn seconded-
That the old Stewards be re-elected." Carried unanimously.".
The Chairman proposed and Mr. L. Moore seconded-
"That the old Ballotting Committee be re- elected."
Carried unanimously,
The Chairman-That finishes the business, So
far as the Stewards are concerned.
Mr. Cole-I wish to propose a revolution—~ “That none but members of the Club and approved visitors be allowed in the Grand Stand enclosure during the training season.”

the end the pursuer was carrying by turning toʻ the right after teaching the ground, and that, the whole catastrophe being awing entirely to that, they were not liable. If they were of opinion that the defect could have been dis. covered by ordinary inspection, the amount would depend whether or not they believed that the pursuer's illness was greatly exaggerated or curable within a certain, short period of time. Medical evidence more unsatisfactory a jury could not listen to. They would get medicol men to maintain the most opposite theories with amazing audacity, and apparently with littl regard to the minds of the people whom they were addressing." He was not going to use any very harsh terms about some of the medical evidence that was given. There were two me ical men who had not impressed him very much as impartial, witnesses, and who defered the deep interests of truth to the interests of their entployers. These doctors always amazed him their opinions. Dr. Littlejohn is a man very with the confidence with which they expressed
highly respected; a friend of my own. I have often heard him as a witness, but I never heard him express a doubt about anything in his life. Never (Laughter.) Heis quite clear and sure upon everything-even as to prophecy." In concluding, his Lordship said they must in the circumstances treat the case as a very serious one because there had been extreme diversity of evidence-evidence that he would almost say
