The Tientsin Races, Spring 1921

Posted: August 1st, 2024 | No Comments »

Some pictures that recently surfaced in an old album put up for auction of the Spring 1921 Tientsin (Tianjin) races at the Tientsin Race Course. The Tientsin Race Course was slightly less grand than Shanghai but definitely better laid out and with attendant stands and club than the Paomachang course in Peking – see Austin Coates’s great study, China Races, for more on all these courses.
