Photograph of the racecourse in Happy Valley, with a caption that reads: 'Wong-Nei-Chong. Better known as the "Happy Valley" and containing the Race Course of the Colony. The "Grand" and Portuguese Stands are visible to the right of the Course, which measures somewhat over a mile in circumference. At the extreme back a small Chinese village nestles amid the foliage. This, the most picturesque portion of the more accessible neighbourhood, is a favourite place of resort for afternoon walks and drives'.
