The cemetery and racecourse at Hong Kong
A view of the Hong Kong racecourse, in very close proximity to the cemetery: The races took place last week in the Happy Valley'. Our festivities remind one of the Egyptian banquets over which a skull presided....Nearest of all are the graves of the 200 victims of last year's economical arrangements; of those slain by the pestilential miasma of the night, by the deadly vapours of the Kowloon marshes, and by the overpowering rays of a tropical sun dealing death through roofs of matting. The racing week, nevertheless went off as pleasantly as could be expected; but the fatal remembrances of last year threw a shadow over a festival presided over by such ghastly witnesses
