SHANGHAI SPRING RACE MEETING.
-SMALL- ATTENDANCE AT OPENING DAY'S EVENTS.
SOME POPULAR WINS.
SUCCESS OF YOUNG JOCKEY IN FINAL RACE OF DAY.
The North China Daily News contains the following account »
of the opening day of the Shanghai Race Club's spring meeting. One can be wise after the event and notice that the strictures on Alligator-who did win the Derby were not justified. The Shanghai Race Club's Spring Meeting opened most suspiciously yesterday.
