The Hongkong Telegraph
HONGKONG, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1882.
A TELEGRAM from New York, dated London, 2ist
inst., states that there is a semi-panic in the American city on account of mercantile failures
in the wheat and cotton trade.
ACCORDING to the official Messenger of St. Pe tersburg, Reuter informs us, the policy of Russia will continue to be a pacific one. The utterances of Russian officials and the statements of Russian official organs are not quite at one.
WE are requested to state that the Chinese ser vants' hiring office, under European manage ment, established at No. 22, Lyndhurst Terrace, has been closed, the amount of public support accorded to it not justifying its continuance. INFORMATION has been received by the Agent, that the Messageries Maritimes steamer Vangise, with the next outward French mail, left Saigon for this port to-day, at 3 a.m., and we are further informed by the superintendent of the Telegraph Company that the steamer passed Cape st. James
at to o'clock.
ON January 10th no fewer than seven of the ad. vertisement columns of the Times were occupied by the list of swam brokers engaged in business in the city of London. Amongst the names we note those of Lord Walter Campbell, younger son of the Duke of Argyll, the Hon, Alfred Petre, the Hon. Edward and Henry Bourke, sir Maurice Duff-Gordon, the Hon. Kenelm Pleydell-Bou- verie, the Hon. Richard Strutt, and sir Hector Maclean Hay. It would seem that the business of a broker is quite an aristocratic one in London nowadays.
Ir would seem that the French have not yet satisfactorily solved the Tunisian difficulty. Ac- cording to latest accounts from the North of Africa a very strong feeling exists amongst the natives against their volatile conquerors, which is gradually on the increase. The seriousness of the situation may be surmised by the announ cement of Ali-bea-Khalifat, leader of the Arabt insurgents in Tunis, who states that next spring no less than thirteeu tribes will join him in fight ing against the French, and that if Arabs abroad would only help them by fumishing rißes of modern pattern he might command a force of
170,000 men.
A STRANGE scene was enacted on Jan. 11, on board the Duke of Wellington flagship at Pois mouth. About 150 men were to be drafted to the Tamar for transfer to the Euryalus and other ships, and in the dinner hour these men, joined by some blue jackets of the flagship, be gan to sing and dance, conducting themselves in a most disorderly manner. They formed into body on the upper deck, where they defied the efforts of the ship's police to restore quiet, and the commander failed to obtain obedience to his orders. The ship's corporals were directed to disperse the men, but the attitude of the crowd of seamen then became such that it would have
been impossible for the corporals to cope with
on the upper deck, and six of the rioters were them. Finally all hands were directed to fall in then singled out and placed under arrest. disorder lasted half an hour.
The
this year being more difficult than usual, the Praya not being available for carriage traffic owing to the recent fire, and the jinricksha nuisance of course caused a deal of trouble. Long before one o'clock the centre of the course was crowded with thousands of spectators, and for the two miles starting post at the top of the straight, to the gate at Bowngton, the rails were lined with human beings.
From the
the
seven furlongs, post to Fate there is only one line of rails, and as the turn past the judge's box is a very sharp one, it is a somewhat hazardous job for a rider to hug the rails closely, with people hanging half over, and displaying umbrellas of every conceivable. shape and huc. By next season the double mils- should be extended right away to the five fur longs post. The long array of stands and booths were crowded with thousands of plea- sure-seekers, and the Grand stand, private stands, and paddock were also largely patronised. An unusually large number of ladies graced the proceedings with their presence, the gay dresses giving the old Stand quite a brilliant appearance. The courac was well kept by a detachment of The Buffs, and the Band of the Royal Innis- killings, under the direction of Mr. E, Wallace, played the following programme during the in-
To-day the ordinary business of commercial Hongkong has been almost, entirely suspended, the share market quite deserted, and "bulls and bears" altogether supplanted by race-ponies. The one sporting event of the year, the annual carnival of all classes of that heterogeneous mass of human beings which constitutes our com- munity, bas again come round, and for the next three days the Colony will be in a state of high excitement, thoroughly infected with race-fever. Wherever is heard the drum beat of that empire on whose dominions "the sun never sets," racing, the noblest and oldest estab-tervals between the races;— * lished of our national sports, flourishes apace, and nowhere is it more generally popular than
in the Far East. Hongkong has almost from time immemorial been a great racing centre, and the pretty little course at Wong-nci-cheong has witnessed many exciting struggles between crack macers in the golden era, when the rivalry be tween the two great houses of Jardine and Dent became so great as to induce Mr. Robert Jardine to pay the late Mr. Jas. Merry a fancy price for the good horse Ruckstone, second to the Mar- quis in the St. Leger, and winner of the Ascot Cup after a dead heat with Tim Whiffler, for the express purpose of asstring the enpremacy of the "dark blue, silver braid." The hardy son of Knowsley lived to reach his destination, but no Hongkong Cup was fated to be added to his Ascot trophy, as he never recovered from the effects of his long sea voyage, and died shortly after his arrival here. Other good horses, not ably sir William, Exeter, and North Australian, were popular favorites in Wong-nei-chong "in the brave days of old"; but the game of horse racing gradually became too expensive for our modern sportsmen and the greatly altered cha racter of the times, and China ponics soon usurped the places formerly held by English and Australian racers. The attempt to re-introduce horse racing into Hongkong in 1877, by import. ing about a score of Australian hacks on the subscription principle proved a great failure, and since then the whole of our racers have been drawn from Mongolia, and there can be no doubt that the China ponies are far more suitable for our racecourses, and afford a much superior

The sun was shining radiantly when the sad- dling bell was rung for the first race, proceedings commencing as usual with the old fashioned Wong-nei-chong Stakes. Half a dozen com. petitors faced the starter for the popular half mile spin, First Cornet being made a warm favorite, and after a fine race with Iroquois the Criterious winner just won on the post, with second Violin a good third. A good field com- tested the Ashley Cup, which fell to strathpeffer, thanks to Mr. Hutchings jockeyship, after a splendid finish with shamrock. East Wind greatly disappointed his supporters by the very poor show he made in this race. The Derby resulted in a great surprise, both Huntsman and Hurricane, finishing in front of the favorite Hualachan, the bearer of the "blue and silver" winning a fine race by 'a short head. First Comet scored his second victory in the Inniskilling Cup, carrying his 10lbs. penalty like a thorough race horse, and then the "good thing sheil, came off in the Valley, Mr. Grarumont's mysterious one win. ning with great case from White Cloud and scotch Mist. Tajmahal had an easy task in the Foo- chow Cup, having only Driving Cloud to beat, but the time-430-was really excellent, and the best ever recorded for the distance in Hongkong. Gang Forward lost his maidenhood in the Canton Cup after a good race with Bobe- minn, and an excellent day's racing was brought to a conclusion by the clever vistory of
Airlie in the Victoria Plate. Mr. Gordon's was

This discrepancy is probably caused by Gross Tonnage being given instead of Re- gister as printed in the Prospectus. This Company is apparently the backbone of the new undertaking, and it likewise has had to contendagainst, andstill has for that matter, a formidable competition, which has been the general reason given, as far as we re collect, at the annual meetings as the ex- cuse for the poorness of the dividends.
