RACING NOTES.
[BY RAPIER]
The Fanling Hmt,
The country will not be fit for Hunting until the early part of next month as most of the ditches, graves and other dangerous spots cannot be seen owing to their being overgrown with long grass Messrs. Birkett and Potts have taken out the hounda regularly throughout the Summer on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. They have recently been join ed by a few more enthusiasts and some fairly good runs have been made over carefully selected country. Those inter ested should note that the run on Sun- days is usually between 8 and am. and on Wednesdays the 1 o'clock and on Saturdays the 2 o'clock trains are in! time for the meets. Instead, of the usual aniseed drag a rabbit from cold storage has been trailed and the hounds give tongue to it with great zest. There are at present seven couple of hounds. and a couple will be added to their number on Sunday. These are arriving by the Glenbeg and are the gift of Mr. G. H. Potts. They are from the Hamp shire pack. Lieut.-Comdr. Spragge, who was one of the Whips last year, is sending out 2 couple of hounds, the gift of Mr.
J. Jardine, the Master of the Dumfries- shire Hounds. Dr. Pierce Grove is Bend- ing out 6 couple by the Glenshiel arriv ing about the end of this month. The pack will then be an excellent one and the coming season shows every pro- mise of some fine sport
Mr. Alec. Potts and a few other keen supporters of the Hunt are working hard for the success of the Steeplechase Meet- ing at Kwanti on the 30th. There are 3 ponies entered and five races on the card and the fields will, therefore, be big enough to make the racing interest ing The refreshment tent run by the Hunt will contain drink and smokes of all descriptions; also sandwiches and cakes; but those who want tea would be well advised to take it cut in a thermos flask. Further particulars will appear in these columns in due course.
Extra Race Mooting. Entries close to-morrow for the extra race mecting on November 6th and they will be published in this "column on Monday morning.

MARRIAGE REGULATIONS IN
SHANTUNG.
AN AMUSING CIRCULAR.
WHEN A BOY MARRIES A WIFE OLDER THAN HIMSELF.
(Asiatic News Service,)
TSINASFU, October 7th. The Civil Governor of Shantung Mr. Lin, has issued a circular instruction to the hair" magistrates all over the pro- vince, regulating the age of marriage. He quotes an abstract of the petition sub- mitted by the Magistrate of Hainhsien, as follows: "According to the ancient customs when a man reaches the age of 30 he may marry a girl of 20 years of age, and the principle is that the bus- band is the lord and master over his wife and family. "According to the civil law of China, a man may marry when he reaches 19 years of age. If he marrica too early, it may injure his health: When
boy marries a wife rauch older than himself, there are bound to be troubles and disasters. I have paid several visits to the secluded villages in my district to study the conditions of the people and to raise funds by the sale of loan bonds, and I have spared no effort in urging the people to dispense with their queues and to stop the evil practice of foot-bind- ing. I have found that in almost every family in the districts under the juris diction of the Tungchang Tao Prefecture early marriage is the prevailing custom. When a boy reaches the age of 11 or 12, he will marry a girl of 20 or more years of age. It is really a curse to many
families. The same evil customs have prevailed almost everywhere in the pro- vince. I have therefore promulgated the following regulations, which, I hope, will. be introduced in other districts:
Group 1, Long Jump.-ist, So Fook # Cheung; End, Chan Chik Cheung..
Group 2, Long Jump.-ist, Leung Chin Man; end; Leung Chik Sang.
Group 3, Long Jump.-Ist, Cheung Siu wing; and, Wong Hon Yee.
The following will represent the Club de Recreio, in a friendly match against the A.U.C., to-morrow, at King's Park:
