The Shanghai Polo Club's Gymkhana on July 4 was an unqualified success, most of the items being of a comic. nature. One race in particular was responsible for a considerable amount of fun. The conditions were:-Gentlemen to be nominated by ladies; the former to ride to their partners with a sealed envelope, which will contain the name of an animál, reptile or bird'; hand. the envelope unopened to partner, who will then run to a blackboard, which will face away from the gentleman, and draw the animal, etc. described; when finished the lady will turn the blackboard round so that the gentleman can see it and guess the name of the animal, etc. The gentleman will then write the name of the animal, etc., ou the blackboard, mount, and gallop back over a hurdle to winning-post. First home who has written the correct name of animal on the board to win,
Owing to the large field the event was competed for in two sections. It cannot be said that the ladies displayed great artis- tic ability, or perhaps wo should say that the gentlemen were too quick to guess what the animals were intended to be. A giraffe was mistaken for a tork, a goat for a donkey, a dog for a cow, a kangaroo for a pig, a frog for a dog, and a camel for a crocodile. The mot ludicrous mistake was about a swan. The gentleman apparently mistook this for a duck, and handed the board back to the lady with 'you' written upon it. In the first batch Mrs Landale's champion, Mr Campbell, came in first. Mr P. Crighton, Miss A. Brand's nomince, came in first in the second batch.

Baron Su- yematau hinted that General Kuropatkin might be attacked at Liao-yang simul. taneously with the storming of Port Arthur. Ho did not nesort this as a fact, but he saw no reason why it should not be done.

To this the Baron re- plied. Certainly.'

The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of othervations taken by means of an au- Cebu tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa. ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui 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 foot 3 inches below mean sea level.
To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 8 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
