The complainant stated that be was the master of a salt junk, In the year 1872 bo married the defen- dant as concubine and took her to his native place, where she remained quietly In February last year the husband left home to go to sea, and on his return, ho found that the defendant had left her home, taking with her a son of his by an Apnamese woman. Nothing more was heard of her until yesterday, when the complainant found her in a house in Joze's Lane and gays her in charge. The defend ant admitted that she left her board abruptly, but it was because of the ill- treatment she received from the first wife. The child she took away was her own by a former husband. She bad married again to another man now, and her present liege lord sent the boy to the country for hia education. The defendant was discharged.

FOOCHOW RACE MEETING.
(Abridged from the Herald.)
We have to record the very best and from a racing point of view-most successful meeting in the annals of the Fohkien Race Club. Batter or more strongly contested folds have never been seen at the Tartar Camp. This was predicted by those con- versant with such matters,—in view of the brilliant programme drawn up by the Stewards; and sil entertained a thoroughly justifiable hope that the different events would attract a keen competition, The racing attended over a period of three days 5th, 6th, and 8th instant,exclusive of the usual "off day." On the second day the course was visited by the Fantai and several other native officials, all of whom were invited to the usual public tiffin at the Kwang Ting. The Fantai, who is a Manobu by birth, appeared to take a great interest in the day's racing, and distributed a number of curiously shaped silver medals to the successful Jockeys. Hacing honours were, all things considered, fairly divided. Mr Tyra's victories with Mantello took many by surprise, as the pony was regard Sired as an outsider until within a few days
