On a hard dry course the favourites might reasonably be expected to win: on such a track as was avail able yesterday, anything might have happened. It is seldom that the stewaris decide on a postponement; in fact, it is almost aspre cedented as far as Shanghai is concerned though some fifteen years ago raia necessitated an exactly similar proceeding and the off-day at the last autumn meeting was postponed on accrust of the state of the track, which was then positively dangerous.

FIRST DAY,
**THE CONSTITUTIONAL MOVEMENT. The constitutional movement in Chios has arisen since and on account of the victors of Japan in the recent war. Its actual commen- compot dates from September, 1905, when an Imperial commission consisting of five high Chinese officials under the Duke Tsai Tse left Poking to make a study of "the political con ditions and governmental policies in other. countries." Delayed by the throwing of a bomb ai the railway station as they were about to start on their journey, the commission was re- constituted and did not set out until December. It visited various European States and returned safely in the summer of 1906, having accomp. listed its mission. On his return the Duke Trai

· THIRD DAY'S EVENTS.
5th November. Though there was no rain yesterday the holding the poules boofs sunk deep in the turf and stayed there, Mr. Moller's tiding was the feature of the day, though he failed to win the fait race. As a matter of fact, Gemini was a very hot favourite for this event, even though Reva d'Or Rosa started against him, and Mr. Burkill rode the latter. The result of the race was a great surprise to most of the people on the course, as will be seen by the dividends below. In the second race Mr. Marshall, a visitor from Amey, who has not had very good luck here for the last four mealings though he bas done well in Amoy, scored his first victory of the meeting with Damson Trea. In the longast ace of the day Marbles gavs.
UP porters a win, beating the favourite easy, and giving the P. and O. Co. another win. Mr. Eric, Moller started out on Tartar Chief for the fourth race and rada the pony home in splendid fashion.
This was one of the few opportunities that Mr. Moller had of showing bis ability in the saddie and he landed this race, just as he did the champions, in a fashion which stamped him as being one of the best riders on the Chins coast, It was rather remarkable that in this race there was a dead heat-in fact, it was only in this race that there was a dead-best-and here it was only for second place. Mr. Burkill, who had done so well on the previous days, did not do so well yesterday, but his riding of Milkman in the Manchu Siaken fulfilled expectations. Sirius and Sutlej divided favouritism for the Consola. tion Cup but the first mentioned at the fialah showed his undoubted excellence and woo oasily. For the champions Mr. Eric.

Commodore Friele bas never had an accident, and his old title sprang from the statement made one day that Friele would not move until he had ninety fathoms of water under him.
To watch the comm:dore on the bridge of the China one would never guess that he is 69 years of age and that he has been in the service of the Pacific Mail Company since 1869, His time before that was put in on the old clipper shipt, when men intrned how to manage a ship in the good old way. In the Pacific Mail Company Commodore Friele has been on both the Parama and transpacific suns in various steamers.
