SHANGHAI SPRING “RACE MEETING.
Te lodge by the times done, the weather at Sbarghal yesterday must have been pesfret, the course'nust have been a "flying" oar, and the finishes most excling. Though none of the "records" were lowered they came Tay ckcre up to their, and if they have similar weather 10-day, Teen Kwang's record for the mile and ball distance will be seriously challenged when the contest takes place for the Sharghal Stakes. Blackbury's time yesterday fer the Cillerlons has only once been beaten, and that was when be and Onion 128 sq simost dead-heat from start to falsh, loweling all records by over two seconds. Ah! that wina race, and cor little Oilon has never been quite the same pony since,
Mr. Liniom is evidently in luck, in beating sif both the Griffins Plate and the Subscription Grifin Stakes, for which Dividend's time (irala, jeseca) marks him for future history, and we shall expect him to give a good account of himself in the Derby to-day, it started for it. Such "Subs" this one and Gleniffer, who ran here last February winning all the big subscrip- tion Griffin races "as he liked," shows what's Jottery grin buying is when no trials are allowed
We are greatly indebted to the United Telegraph Companies for the results of the races published yesterday and to-day, and avail ourselves of this opportunity to thank the Manager lo the favour of his good offices In this connection.
Yesterday the weather was fine but this morning it was blowing and at 4 p.m. rain fall. This accounts for the times being slower to-day than yesterday and some of the favourites "going off" slightly.
