Meanwhile, in Shanghai, China, a distinguished mingling of white and yellow folk took place at the opening of the greyhound racetrack at Luna Park. Lean Wazir, owned by A. W. Olsen and Y. F. Hung, won the Yangtszepoo Stakes. Col. R. W. Dockrill's Staff Captain took the Luna Park Opening Cup. Misses Margot and Tita Stephen's Merry Sinner took the Luna Park Hurdle Cup.

Oh quel Nul at the Concert Mayel O Nul at La Luna Rousse, Le Nu Aux Nues at L'Abri, Ca porte aux Nues at the Montparnasse.
