SPORTING AND OTHER NOTES.
All the fixtures for the intport matches cannot be definitely made unt we hear how long the Straits and Shanghai Bams are going to remain here, but according to present arrange ments Hongkong will play the traits on the 11th and 12th, and the afternoon of the 13th will be kept for tennis. On the 14th and 15th, Hongkong will probably oot Shanghai, leaving the morning of the 166 free to finish off the match if necessary and the afternoon for the rest of the tannis datches. It is too early yot to say anything about the selection of a cricket team, as centers have still three weeks' practice in fit of them, and the selectors are not likely to phok their eleven will the last moment. It is the same with tonnia-there is not much to choose between Pinckney and Fontifex, and Hancock is pro bably as good as either. The final selection will have to stand over until the three have played a few sets together and it can be seen who is showing the best form the moment. The probability is that they are about level in singles and that Finckney and Hancock will make the best combination for the doubles. Shanghai is no doubt bringing down strong Leaus both for cricket and temals, and I hear they are willing to lay 3 or 4 to I on their

Have you over soon good eyeling, good races properly organised on a good track with good riders? I am getting on myself in years, but I can recol last many a good race at home in days gone by. The names of Toe Synyer, Gatehouse, Adams, and many others, even now rise before one's mind as names to conjure with. They are the names of men who, one may say, began the aport; others took it up, wal followed in their track-a countless host of others, too numerons to think off, hailing from all quarters of the globe. They found the sport fair to middling at any rate, but they had tried it. Some of Hongkong's people have tried it, and they who have, I feal sure, would not subject to do so again; those who have not tried it, lot them have a try. I think they would con come to look upon it as capital good fun, and jolly good exercise into the bargain, One diffoulty is, whore is a place to be found for a track? I have already suggested that a very suitable spot would be round the football ground next to the Race-course. There must surely be ample roem to get a 3-lap to the mile track on that ground. The football need not and would not be interfered with, the game
sports, and football, and the games could be played on the ground in the centre of the track. Access to the football ground by the players being easily afforded by an extraneo either underneath the banking of the track or across a level part of it.

The defendant went up to der with his fist, afterwards threatening her with the knife. He next attacked the daughter, seiz- ing her by the jacket and knocking her down. The girl rolled down the stair into the street. The people downstairs were alarmed by the noise and rashed out. One of them, a cook, caught the defendant and gave him into custody. It was contended for the prosecution, concluded the Acting Attorney-General that although the defendant did not take anything away he went to the house for the purpose of committing rob bery, and was only prevented by the hno-and-ory that was raised.

The owners of grifles decided to make na allowance of 2-the-per-3 inch, and that is fait allowance in these grifin-raves, where the difference in height between the highest and lowest animal is so great. 15.34 is set to carry 10st. 21b. and 14.3 will therefore, carry
128. 2bs, which is enough for any here to race under. There are only four or five animals under 14 hands, and it appears to be hardly necessary to make the bottom weight as high as 10st, 21ba-it might easily have been lowered 4 or

THE MEETING OF THE PLANETS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] A rare and pretty phenomenon is the array of six planets in the western sky, visible those evenings, weather permitting, for a brief fort- night. The appearance at the same time, in the same part of the heavens, of six planeta, that is of uli, to be seen without the aid of a telescope, is a rare occurrence, though of far less interest to the astronomer than to the astrologer, if in this new contary there be still any straggling adepts in that forgotten lore. Such a mecting of planets has not taken place for a contury, perhaps not since the discovery of Uranus in 1781. They will como together again for another short fortnight next March, then they will part, balding on their several ways, nover to Ise seen

Following in the wake of this society, any public-spirited gentleman, possessed of the necessary technical knowledge of the subject, will render a public baneft if he will formulate and put into operation a scheme for a Building Association in Macao. At prosent, available building sites are so very cheap that any plan would appear to be feasible. I urge this on the attention of those whose domicile here, because evidence is not wanting of the land-jobbing fond already directing his attentions to Macto. The recent completion of certain sales of the most desirable European residences along the water-front and the tenta- tire negotiations for further sequisitions at what wont, only a few years ago, have bean considered fabulous prices are indications that history like that which has been chronicled in Hongkong may be repeated at Macao.

In this capacity he was called Auka-Ther. A trace of the verbaala is left in one of the Norse languages, but its sorse has been changed into that of "to ride in a vehicle while some one else drives it." The paper scams to think that "ank" fills the long-felt want, and that "storm ank," "gas ank," and plain "suk" for electric vehicles, are picasing sounds which will motor their way into the language. Much as a word is wanted, we do not think the tendency of the automobile will be aukward.
