Bristol, April 11.-With an American Eagle porched on her poso, and wine run- ning down her bow, the sloop yacht Reliance was successfully launched at the works of the Herreshoff Company just before sun- down.
That her skimming-dish typo will prove faster than the deep-bodied Shamrock III. and that she will successfully defend the America Cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's third challenger is the confident belief of not only two-score of the members of the New York Yacht Club, who saw her to-day, but of all the yachting experts who gritical- halfly viewed her lines before she entered the

The challenger's showing on the reach was distinctly disappointing.

With only a beat to the mark of Port- land and a roach home to sail, the chal.i lenger had still 2 minutes' handicap against her. The yachts had a bard wind and some sea during the beat, The times at the finish of the second round were follows: Shamrock III. 1.33.30; Sham- rock I, 1.39.

Agents, Messrs KELLY AND WALSH, LIMITED,
THE TIME in Cup valt of supplies curt, uue which, with the
use and the United States, has completed the supplementary volumes which, with the 24 volumes of the Ninth Edition, will constitute the Tenth Edition. No other Tenth Edition will ever be published.
The Encyclopædia Britannica is the only book in which will be found the latest figures, the newest iteto, the most recent- discoveries of science, the most accurato maps, and which deals fully with every phase of contemporary life, political, industrial, geographical, literary, sociological, artistic.
A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
The task of the editors has not been an easy one. The decisive circumstances whigli affected the work of bringing the Lacy- clopedia Britannica up to date were peculiar. What form was the Tonth Edition to assumie ? The idea that the Tonth Edition should be an entirely new work, that should take up the history of the world from the beginning again, had only to suggest itself to be dismissed. Advance have been made, and events have occurred which are not to be found in the existing twenty-four volumes of the Ninth Edition; but the advances have not been of so revolutionary a character as to diminish the value of the matter contained in the twenty-four volumes-so far as it goes, nor do new events affect the record of the past, if that record is as brilliant and authoritative ng are the contributions to those twenty-four unrivalled volumes. The production of a new edition of a work of reference is often an occasion, not merely for making additions of new matter, but also for improving the matter that is already in existence. In this case although there was very much to add, there was nothing to improve. Only an unreasonable love of innova- tion for innovation's sake could have recommended the plan of producing a Tonth Edition afresh from the beginning, an edition which should not only contain the new knowledge for which the times call, but also cover again the ground already so admirably covored in the existing twenty-four volumes.
:
The history of England, for examplo, broke off with the accession of Queen Victoria, and here very obviously an addition was needed; but there would have been no possible excuse for re-writing the history of England up to the death of William 1V., since that history had been written by Professor Freeman and Professor Rawson Gardiner, and it may well be doubted whether any two- or twenty-historians to-day could contribute so fine a treatise upon the subject. No shadow of a reason could have been found to justify the re-writing of that article, and the purchaser of the Tenth Edition would have had no reason to be grateful to the new- Editors had they decided upon such a course.
THE PAST THE PRESENT.
It was
What was true of Eugish history was true of all other histoy, was true of biography, literature, philosophy, and the arts tre also of the fundamental principles of scionce which have governed the later advances, and without which the now discovóries and devices would remain unintelligible. The lines of modern biological science could not be laid down better than they were by Huxley, Romanes, and the other eminent men of science whose contributions went to give the twenty-four volumes their lasting place in the world's literature. Not even in a branch of science that has seen such great advances as electricity were the contributious of such nuthorities as Professor Chrystal, or Dr John Hopkinson, become valueless-what they lacked could be added.
It was, then, a foregone conclusión that the recent history and new knowledge, which so urgently called for another edition of the national work of reference, should be added in the shape of new volumes, and the form which the Tenth Edition thus necessarily assumes, possesses certain distinct advantages of its own. In all encyclopedies which have hitherto appeared the pant Tas A work of reference which undertook the gigantic task of describing in full all the historics and all the outweighed the present. presonalities of all the countries in the world since the beginning, naturally relaxed its hold when it came to the present.

THE RAILWAY.
The annual general meeting of seat. holders in the Union Church was held last | night—Rov, C. Fl. Hickling prosiding.
The report and accounts for the year |1902-03 were submitted and passod, the accounts showing a balance in hand of $225,33 as compared with $1367.26 at the commencement of the year. It has to be borne in mind, however, that exceptional expenses had to be incurred during the year.
Votes of thanks were awarded the various ladies and gentlemen who had assisted in the Church work-during
the year, and special mention was made of the services of Dr J. C. Thomson
Mr W G.. (Hon. Secretary) and. Humphreys (Hon. Treasurer).
The following gentlemen were elected to the Committee of Management for the cur rent year: Messrs G. Murray Bain, W.- Brand, J. Goosmann, G. Grimble, A. Mackenzie (Hon. Sec.), J. F. Millor, W. G. Humphreys (Hon. Trens.), A. Moir, W. Parlane, Rev. T. W. Pearce. A. Rod- ger, W. A. Sims, Dr J..C. Thomson (HOD. Pew Sec.), W. J. Tutcher, W. M. Watson, W. Wilson, W. J. Wright, W. Nich Ison, D.

The grading on section of the Sam Shui branch is nearly finished. The contracts for all grading, bridge-building, etc., through to Sam Shui have been signed. The bridges, so far as possible, are to be built of stone. Two locomotives for this branch line left New York a month ago, and are coming out via Suez. The line as far as Fatshan, which is to be a double track, is expected to be open for traffic in October, and I am told that trains will be running to Sam Shui before the end of the year.
The following was the report presented by the Committee of Management :-
The forecast, in the last report, of the arrangemen's connected with the change in the pastorate was in due course ronlised. In view of the impending departure of the Rev. G. J. and Mrs Williams, cordial farewella were taken at social meetings held on the 24th and 25th of April. To extend a welcome to the Rev. C. H. and Mts Hickling, congregational social was held on the 29th of May, and occasion was taken at this meeting to express to the Rev. T. W. Pearce the Church's sense of obligation for his service during the interval between the pastorates. The Hon. Treasurer's statement of accounts, showing an income of $7,839.83, including balance carried forward of $1,367.26, with a credit balance of $225.33 at the end of the year, must be regarded as thoroughly satisfactory in view of the special circumstances of the period under review. The accumulated balance at the beginning of the year proved practically sufficient to meet the extraordinary expen- diture involved in the coming from England of the new pastor. In view of the condi. tion of the Church fabric, the Committee undertook its thorough renovation and in ternal decoration, and this work is now proceeding. The congregation was invited io contributo $1,600 to cover the cost. very generous response resulted in a sum of 81,877 being placed at the Committee's disposal. This proved especially oppor tune, as in course of the operations more repairs than had been anticipat- ed were found necessary. It is proposed to deal with the exterior of the bulding af- ter the rainy season.

Closing the Chinese Theatres. At the meating of the Sanitary Board yesterday, Hon. Dr J. M. Atkinson (President) mored that the Board recom- niend the closing of Chinese theatres during the prevalence of the present epidemic of bubonic plague. It must be evident to members of the Board, he said, that the congregation of large numbers of people at such times as the present was inadvisable. In 1901, the same course was pursued, and he thought it very desirable to take this precaution now.
Colonel Webb seconded.
The Secretary read the reply, in the course of which the contractor stated that the nuisances complained of by Mr. Hewett were no doubt his coolies' fault. Since he had taken over the contract he had always done his best to carry out its conditions and he daresay that with the exception of the Peak District he had done the work to the satisfaction of the Bourd, One reason for the complaints was that at present there የቤና nonccommodation for the coolies at the Penk, and as they had to walk up in the morning they could not do the work ་ས well As if they Another reason were living at the Peak. was that the Peak District, unlike the others, was so large and there were so many places, such as gardens, valleys and hill- siles where rubbish might be dminped, that it was very difficult to supervise the coolies, who were the lowest class of work- men and could not be relied upon. The police while on duty night and day, had not been able to catch any one dumping rubbish. He requested the Board to re- commend the Government to grant piece of land upon which to

THE RUBBISH CONTRACTOR. To the Editor of the "OKIna Mail.' Hongkong, May 8. Sin--If the responsible Officials of the Sanitary Board desire to know what be- comes of the rubbish taken from the Peak
houses, let them take a walk down the road leading from the Penk to Aberdeen. roadside, from which myriads of flies There are tons of filth dumped on the swarm on to any unfortunate pedestrian who happens to choose this once delightful road for an airing. I would suggest that the Sanitary Officials should make the Contractor at once remove every scrap of rubbish so dumped to the proper tip lower down the Road.-Yours, etc.,.

[On the discussion in the Sanitary Board, there can be but one opinion- impertinent' is not the word: wo should oall the letter of the contractor 'audacious,' and if such conduct is not promptly met by strong measures, then the Sanitary Authority may as well abandon the care of the Colony. - ED., 0.M.]

Played at Happy Valley on Thursday, 1st Inst. The Ordnance won by 32 runs. Bradford claimed & wickets for 19 runs.
Now, it must not be forgotten that the Yacht Club began with very small boats- mere cunc es-and owing to the strong tides and fickle winds, and at other times strong squally winds and considerable sea experienced in and around the harbour, gradually increased the size of the boats for greater comfort, safety, and power of get- | Scores :- ting round a reasonably long course within reasonable time.
This evolution resulted in the 14 rator class, with restrictions as to sail area (450 square feet), beam (6 feet), and lead on keel (12 cwt.) being adopted.
The Alannah was the last boat built to that class, and she cost, more than two years ago, 81,500, including cost of sails and design.
Two years ago, the Y.L.A. changed the rating rule, and the question aruse whether the R. H.K. Y.C. should follow suit, and at the same time abolish the restrictions mentioned.

The arguments in favour of doing so were that (a) the extra cost of an unrestricted 24 footer (that is the corresponding class un. der the new rule to the old 14 rater) would be little more.

KITCHEN FLOORS.
A minute was submitted from the Acting Medical Officer of Heath (Dr W. W. l'earse) to yesterday's meeting of
the Sanitary Board stating that he should like to have some, definite understanding as to what meterials were approved by the Build- ing Authority as suitable for building floors. Canton (red) tiles were not non-absorbent, See Soc. 140 of 1 of 1903.
The D.P.W. stated in reply:-Cement concrete; cement rendering; asphalte; the tiley or paving bricks made by the Deep Water Bay Works.
These are all the inatorials that are likely to arise in practice at present. If there is any other brought forward I shall be prepared to consider it.' Dr Atkinson said that Dr Pearso asked for a ruling. It appeared that ordinary Canton tiles were not impervious. He be lieved he was right in saying that at present most of the kitchens were paved with these tilos, It would be something of an inconvenience to have to concrete them over or obtain impervious tiles. This, ho thought, was not an urgent necessity.
Mr Fung Wa Chuan-All kitchens have been concreted.
Dr Pearse- No.
Mr Fung Wa Chuan-I think so-unless the officers have not been doing their duty.
Dr Atkinson-Of course there aro kit chens on the upper floors as well.'
Mr Lau Chu Pak-You cannot concrete the kitchens on the upper floors.
Mr. Rumjahn-I think it is possible to lay à course of encaustic tiles on the top of Chinese red tiles. I have done so.

Hongkong Tides. The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au. tomatic tide-regnding machine in the Wa- ter Police Basin, at Tsim Sha Tsuf during the years 1887-8-9.
The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet
3 inches below mean sea level.
To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to, the height given in the table.
