GUNNERY IN THE CHINA SQUADRON.
Referring to the gunnery tests of the China Squadron, the London Globe says:-
In taking over the command of the Chlos station early this year Vice Admiral Sir Bedworth Lambton inherited, as it were, from Vice-Admiral Sir A. W. Moor, a flagship in the King Alfred" which held a world's reword for gannery, and the determination apparently is to sustain this reputation.. In point of fact the firing in the light quick-firing test, which tools plaas at Wei-hai-woi on July 15, is better than it was last yeaF, EN seen io the following comparative results for the 12-pounder guns: 1987. 149 rounds, 100 hits; 1968, 143 rounds: 104 hits. Last year the best 12-pounder gun fired 12 rounds and inade 11 bits, whereas this year the highest individual scure was 16 rounda 14 bite, which is claimed as a world's record for this type of gan. The credit for this remarkable firing bolonge to H. Blayder, a seaman gunner, out in No. 3 hold. The fire was a slight clars. Another meritorious performance was and was extinguished after three quarters-of- an-hour by the ship's oraw who worked immemade by Abin Semsa Beach (Soudan Gagner), diately, with the fro cafuguisher on bourd, and in geting, off 17 rounds at bitarmer), afterwards by pamping water into the hold, three pounder, Just before his time was up The damaged cargo in hold loaded with Boob unfortunately bid a misfire, but for Australian and Colombo cargo was discharged which, it is bettered, he would have been able

Admiral Sperry, acknowledging the heartinees of the greeting given to the American Fleet at Auckland spoke as follows:-The Imperial interests of both our grest nations in the Pacific are the age. From Naw Zealand, at the lowest point, to the uttermost point of the Philippines--from New Zealand north east towards Hawaii and the cost of the United States, there is an nobroker chain of cammon interests. These common interests to-day are only beginning to develop, and their magniinde is almost impossible for us to appreciate. They are growing day by day with the expansion of trade and the opening of the Panama Canal. Common interests need common protection. It very well and essential that the principles pazne should be settled by the Hagas Con- fareuce, bat it is ostential that there should be a guarantee that those principles will be followed, and the two groot fets which most at Auckland with "s cammon interest. make for tbut pacs. (Applause.) They make for Anglo-Saxon peace throughout the Pacifio. It is fitting that the Imperial interest should be recorded as common. It is peculiarly gratifying that each country borongh and municipality has sont figs as token of welcome to prevent their sentiments, where their people are unable to do so by the word of mouth, as they have been doing ad the morning to the streets (Laughter and phascal.
