The correspondent adds that an undoubted spirit of conciliation is now being manifested in contrast to the recent irritation. The British Premier's policy of bolding the balance evenly greatly impressed all hearers. It is anticipated that the Council will rise on Augug 13-in-

Dealing with the much discussed forthcoming Interport Swimming contest, in which Shanghai has bern Invited by the Victória Recreation Club to compete against Hongkong here, the North China Daily News of August 3, says:

OF ST. MICHEL.
BAY
PARIS, August 10.
An Interport, contest, the article continued, is alway's the happiest and most looked-forward to event of any sporis season. A swimmer of the local clubs would immediately feel
that Shanghai is not going to send a team to Hongkong. But the fact remains that considerable difficulty is being experienced by all the clubs in getting together a list of men who are sufficiently promising swimmers and at the same time can be relied upon to be sure of absenting themselves from business for a fortnight, As hack will have it, many of the best Shang- bai swimmers-have-iately returned from leave to the United Kingdom, and some feel very dubious about having another fortnight's" holiday** so soon after their return. Fether- stonbaugh of the Rowing Club, one of the best short distance swimmers. we have, is one who will probably find it impossible to get away.
- A group of American engineers, backed by American financiers, has submitted plans to barness the tides of the Bay of St Michel at an estimated cost of £30,000,000. They propose to construct a carrier twelve miles long across the hay with special outlets for rivers and openings for steamers. INNERS SCORED BY CUPID. They hope the installation will produce Kiz bilion kilowatt an hour, worth £20,000,000 annually.
