On Sunday, mark bouts was placed at the western end of One Tree Island and the eastern end of Aplichau, affording a splendid stretch of water lined on each side by junks and sampans dressed with gay flaga. Mr. Dizon's arrival was a signal to the Dregon boats to get into position. The course was patronised by goodly number of Europeans: His Excellency the Governor and Lady Blako arriving and taking a keen interest in the proceedings. The race for Mr. Dixon's prize, the Chinese insisted, should be rowed in thres beats, the last rass to decide the order of the boats.
At the start of the first race the excitement among the Chinese was tremendous, and the boats came on in splendid style with very little between them, the spray from the paddles flying from atom to stern and cooling the heated bodies of the owners. Half the distance was covered with all boats besting perfect time when to the consternation of all the rest the Shaukiwan boat, which had crept ahead, suddenly sheered across the stream, causing all the boats to get entangled.

HIS EXCELLENCY followed with s brief remarks. After paying a tribute to the excellence of the address just convinded, he said the Hongkong Branch of the League comprised aboa quarter of the male that there was British population, and room for expansion. Referring to the accessity for a strong Navy, he said there were two ways of regarding the matter. One was the neces dity for a strong Navy having regard to future war, and the other was the necessity for a strong Navy having regard to the fact that in trade matters we were the treasure-house of the world, and we wanted that strong Navy te secure lasting pace. (Applause.) It was in that aspect, His Excellency mid, that he pro forred to look at it. War was a dreadful thing, and in spending our money to secure the best and the strongest Navy in the world he hoped we were also expanding it to secure the bles sings of peace. (Applause) Commenting on a recommendation he made me years ago as to the raising of a reserve amongst the 60,000 fishermen of Newfoundland, who were The third rucs was su exciting struggle, amongst the finest men the world could produce, and again the red and white flags contested His Excelleney said that, though the recom-neck-and-neck, The Aberdeen boat this timo mendation was not adopted at the time, he had beon pleased to ante that amongst the Now. foundland items of news in a back copy of the Ties that he picked up the other day was the information that 600 Newfoundland Baher men had returned from a West Indian cruise, (Applause) When the day of trial came, con- eladed the speaker, we should look forward over the sea and over the land for that help which he was quite certain, if the people were only properly trained, we should never look for in vain in any part of the Empire. (Applause) His Excellency then proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Wyatt.
The greatest good humour prevailed among the Dragonites over the, mishap and a fresh start was made for the second race. Mr. Les Ping, Government contractor, intimating that he would give a $10 note to the beat coming in first. The race was rowed splendidly and onded in a neck-and-neck race between the Luk Chow and the Aberdeen boats, the Luk Chow winning Cost of sundry concerns 102,000.00 by a short listanne.
Mr. Wrarr in acknowledging the vote of thanks sail it was very true that the upkeep of our naval strength was the chief guarantee of peace; therefore the Navy League might be looked upon as the greatest peace society on earth. To loare the British Etopirs unde- fended er too weakly defended would be not only a piece of insanity but a crime against civilisation and the peace of the world. With reference to the introduction of naval reserves he recalled the fact that he was one of a deputa tion who waited upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier when the Colonial Premiers were home for the Jubilee, to bring that very point before hix.
Canada had now begun to recognise the duty that lay upon her to do something to assist in the naval defence of the Empira. (Applause.)
Mr. POLLOCK, K.0, in proposing a rete of thanks to His Excellency, said he was specially glad to see him in the chair, es an errones idea seemed to be abrond that in some way or another the Navy League were against the Government and that it was not becoming in a high official to be a member of the Navy League. The presomes of His Ex- Bileney that stiernoon might tend, he thought, very effectually to dispose of that erroneans impression. (Applane.) Eo far from the Navy Lengue being against the Government, the object of the League had been, ever since its inception, to support the Government to the best of its power. (Hear, hear.) The object of the League had been so to stir up publie opzion in Great Britain to the importance of a para. moant Navy that the electorate of Grent Britain might have it brought home to them that a predominantly strong Navy was abenlutely necessary, not for the purpose of aggression, but simply and solely for the security of the Empire and for the maintenance of that grand heritage which had been handed dora to us.
