PEAK TRAM CRASHES. FOOTBRIDGE CARRIED AWAY BY CAR
Peak residents were somewhat incon- venienced yesterday morning by a mishap which occurred to the right o'clock tram, and many people had to walk down to the City.
For some reason the tram could not be stopped when it reached the top station, and it crashed into the small footbridge leading to the Peak Hotel, and almost carried it away. Below the tram came to a harmloss stop against the bis buffer there. Apart from the darango to the bridge, the only other damage was to the footboard of the tramcar, this being broken off.

SALT GABELLE LAUNCH.
It is reported that the Canton Salt Gabelle launch Che. Tuck while on her way from Chin Shan to Canton with a few strike pickets on board was captured by the Northern warship Baichere near Aptan
According to an eye-witness in a pass ing vessel the launch at first attempted to escape when signalled to stop, but was obliged to obey the order when the war ship opened fire at her. The strike pic kets and the crew were arrested and taken on board and, later the launch was seen following the Hechew, making her way in the direction of Macao. As the launch has not yet reached Canion the Strike Pickets Headquarters have requested the
Government to search for her.

I is difficult to estimate the advantage the Association bas derived from their tinual enthusiasm and support any tournament took place without the presence of both or either of them I tope it is not too much to wish that their successors will give the Association equal encouragement
Our thanks are due to all the Officials who helped us in arranging and running the tournaments and to the Officers and men of the Navy and Army for their always ready assistance and keenness. The first tournament, as I bave said, is booked for November 21st, and I hope that all followers of the art will keep that date free so that we may start the season with a full house and cathusiasm, and as far as the vicissitades of the sport admit I can promise you a good retur for your money.
