The race then took With three big events on the programme it is no wonder that the general enthusiasm on the third is higher than on the preceeding two days, and as far as excitement was con- cerned this afternoon, there was enough of it. The interest, of course, centred in the big race of the meeting, the “Champions," and we think that our remark lower down is correct, that Shanghai has never seen such a race before The Grand National Steeplechase was magnificently contested in the last few hundred yards, and although, through Cor unfortunately breaking a stirrup, one of the champions was put out of the race, still the excitement was no less intense, nor the applause for the winner less hearty. The wins were well distributed. and all the successful “jocks" well cheered, and altogether the excitement and life that was thrown into the latter half of the afternoon fully equalled that of the rest of the meeting put together. It was at first thought that the dead heat in the 56
Champions would have to be ran out, but a division was at last agreed upon. The time of the Champions was
within a second of the record.
