No better, weather for a racing day could have been sought, than that with which the Hongkong meeting opened this fore

noon. The course was well lined with

spectators, and the way to Wongneichong was filled by many ricksha coolies carrying 'fares' and by more than one luckless individual who failed to find a 'sha in response to his call. The stalls were as of yore, and they were bright and gay with the colours of favoured owners. Generally speaking, the course was well patronised, and the racing good.

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

THE CHINA MAIL.

Amoy, February 7. This annual holiday of the Chinese is over once more, and ordinary work is gradually being resumed, after an adequate supply of crackers have been exploded, and a sufficient amount of feasting and gambling has been indulged in. Is there any other nation, that calls itself civilized, that would willingly consent to the dislocation of busi- 1ness yearly caused by the length of this holiday? It is all very well to "havo a day or two, now and then, but the time the Chinese give to it, while it may have some compensations, is a serious hindrance to We in Amoy suffered more than usual this year by the paucity of steamers running, as we were actually without mails from Hongkong for
