SIEGE-TRAIN EINS THE TUG-OF-WAB.D- There was a large attendance at the Circus at night to witnes the final struggle in the great tug-of-war competition between the 15th Company (Biege Train) 8.D. KG.A., and the Stokers Team of HMS. Caturion. Loud applause grected the teams as they entered the ring. The stokers were shorter in stature, but this was the only noticeable difference. The Siege Train won the toss, and had the choice of sides. Captain Cadogan, B.W.F., again of Lieut. Mayhew, E.M., siated as referee, and just before the commence, ment of the struggle Colonel Hicks, of the Cirens, intimated that the referee's decision was to be absolutely final.

CORRESPONDENCE.
[We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expreset by our correspondents.] THE ABLE-BODIED BEGGAR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "PAILI PRESS,"
Hongkong, 20th February. Six-The leading article in year issue of yesterday draws public attention to a serious and growing evil which raquires to be firmly checked, numely, the existence in our midst of several andeserving lonters who spend a life of idious and uzolmess upon the money which is given to them by the charitably disposed.
I am unfortunally able, from bitter experience, to testify to the fact that money and clothing, hastowait upon people of this clase, are only tno likely to be converted into drink, and thus a gift which was kindly intended really
results in harm instead of in good.
My advice, therefore, to the benevolently in clined in to assist in stamping out this oril by tying up their pure-strings, and, if the appli- cant for relief become disorderly, to send for the police.

the first to change tactics, and pulled. The stokers hang on, but lost ground inch by inch. On a signal from their coach, Sergeant Mc. Cartney, the soldiers got the rope over their shouldersa move by which they gained only slightly. The stekere were now heaving at the rope in true sailor fashion, and regaining their lost ground. The soldiers attempted to return to their first position on the rope, but as the change was made simultaneously with astrong pall from, the stokers, one or two of the Siege Train were momentarily knocked off their balance. h fore they could regata themselves the rope was pulled over the mark by the sailors.

Second pull-Changing siden, both teams went to work warly. The stokers again played the hanging-on game, but the soldiers, now paying closer station to the directions of their captain, were working like one man, and hauling in by a strong hand-over-hund pall. The stokers left of hanging and started heaving, but they had given their opponents Higgen. too much ground and were maily pulled over in 2mins. 33secs.
Third pall:-Amid intenso excitement, the fual pull started. The Siege Train appeared If, as you state in your leading article, to be slightly the fresher, but both teams looked those in authority at the Deck Extension (by winded. The soldiers got to work right away; which I suppass you mean the Naval Yard the stokers, however, held their own pluckily extension) are willing to provide work Gradually the Siege Train gathered way, but for the unemployed at the rate of from 31.90 to with a sudden, irresistible heave the stokers $2 a day, there is no fear that any who are able and willing to work will die of starvation,
As for those who are able but not willing to work, there is only one suitable treatment for them, namely, imprisonment in Victoria Gaoi where they will be compelled to work and will have no facilities for drinking.
Your suggestion that a Charitable Fund should be administered by the Captain Superin tendent of Police appears to be admirable one, because, in that way, the Police will be able to keep a sharp eye upon the men who apply for relief, with a view to prosecute them vigorously if they waste any money which is given to them in heavy drinking.
The sentimental may be disposed to think that the above method of dealing with the difliculty is rather a harsh one, but I fail to say that there is any duty incumbent upon any of us to assist anybody who is able to work to pass his time in idleness or drankenposs. man will not work, neither shall he eat.”—I am sir, yours, etc.,

brought them back, and, by a succession of huaves, themselves gained ground before the Siege Train had fully renovated from the first at back. It now looked almost a certainty for the sailors, but, ones more attling back to it, the Siege Train got the ups across their shoulders and finally won the pull, which lasted 1min. 35secr.
