NEW GAMES.

In this connection, it is interesting to note that the old favourite, progressive whist," is threatened by a somewhat for midable rival.

The new game is called the "Mil:our" game. Whist is played at tables, each representing a different country, and each bearing a fort in which is stuck the one large flag of the country the

The object of the game is to capture as many "foreign figs as possible for one's "This is done by two players country. from each table moving from their own territory," and attacking the two remain- ing players at another table by playing one hand at whist. Should the attacking pair

win, they take back a fing, and put it in

VETO.

Another card game which is likely to be popular, owing to its poetical flavor, is the new fiscal game called "Veto."

This game is supposed to represent an appeal to the country on the great question of the day, and will be found both amusing and instructive. It utilises in an ingenious manner the main elements of the contest, and introduces sundry prominent English 97, DES VEUX ROAD CENTRAL. statesmen identified with the one or the-

"Delhi" wo have experienced a very dull and quiet fortnight Dealers having still on hand a large quantity of high-priced yarn are meeting what little country demand that exists locally at more or less loss, and enquiry from first hands consequently is greatly limited. Importers, on the other hand, despite a steady declin. ing exchange, are most anrious and impatient sollera and would further con- cedo in price if any large quantity could be placed, but what with very unsatisfac- tory clearance, incessant heavy arrivals, and rapidly increasing stocks, no business of any note can be induced. The market closed dull and drooping and we are now passing through a period of 'most intense and unusual depression. Sales during the past fortnight comprise of about 425 bales of No. 105.; 75 bales of No. 12s; and 275 bales of No. 20s.; in all about 775 bales. "A. Arrivals per steamers "Delta,"

Apcar," "Kutsang," "Lighting," "Maza- gon" and "Ischia " of about 18,000 bales. Shipment to Shanghai and Northern Ports about 10,000 bales, The unsold stock is estimated at about 90,000 bales.

LOCAL YARN:-Sale of 300 bales are reported, say, 100 bales each of No, 108., No. 128., and No. 168. at $104, 3106), and 8119 respectively.

JAPANESE YARN:-The comparatively very high prices ruling in Japan check im- portations and no business is reported.

Rifle Shooting.

The military correspondent of the Globe has made some very telling points lately in regard to the methods by which Tommy Atking is taught musketry, and he has now and then been hold enough to assert that some of these methods are not the best qualified to encourage shooting under service conditions.

In this category he included the subject of judging distance, and he now rejoices to find that his criticisms have been amply justified by that very com. petent soldier, Brigadier General Pilcher,

commanding the Third Infantry Brigade ab Aldershot, In a recent lecture to the Aldershot Military Society, the General claimed that judging distance is in every way as important as musketry, and that it

is a subject which has been much neglected

From being a restless newspaper editor he became more and more, with the aid of his charming and capable wife, a typical representative of his great nation in the social world of Europe.

League Cricket.

}

IOWLOON ♥, HONGKONG "A". - The most interesting cricket match of the League season was played on Saturday afternoon, when Kowloon defeated Hong- kong "A.", The latter batted first and compiled 146 runa, of which Gibson (42), Fowler (33) and Lowe (16) were the principal scorers, Whon Kowloon went in it seemed as though victory was certain to rest with the Islanders, as time was against the Kowloonites, but Krickenbeck and Dixon, batting briskly and confidently, soon rattled up a respectable score and shanged a probable defeat into a victory. The winning bit was made eight minutes before time and Kowloon won with three

wickets to epare. The bowling of Dixon and Martin for Kowloon was good, but the fielding of the Kowloon team on the whole was poor, Krickenbeck (a Hongkong Olub player, and "barred" to League Cricket, we believe) practically won the match for Kowloon, though Dixon ably seconded his efforts. Peake was the most successful bowler for Hongkong, securing 6 wickets at a cost of under eleven runs each. The full scores are as follow:-
