“TRIAL TRIP OF THE STEAMSHIP | from the latter's next attempt, and then his oppo-
LUZON."
The steamship Conquest, now known as the Lusou, which for some time past has been under. going extensive repairs at the Kowloon Docks, made a very successful trial trip yesterday. This vessel, well known in the trade between this port and Haiphong, was purchased some time ago by Mr. Fyfe and placed in the hands of the Dock Co., by whom she has been thoroughly over. hauled. Her engines have been repaired and put in first class working order, and severni im provements have been effected with a view to economy of fuel and general efficiency.. A new boiler has been-supplied, constructed at Kowloon and tested by hydraulic pressure to 180lbs, per se. inch, the working pressure being 75lbs., that of the old boifer being only Golbs.

The upper deck has been renewed, new cabins have been fitted on deck for captain and officers, and the internal arrangements of the main cabin altered so as to accommodate a number of first class passengers, while ample space is provided between decks for native-passengers.
The repairs and alterations being completed, steat was got up and the vessel proceeded to the neighbourhood of l'eddars' wharf, at about 5 pat. yesterday, where a goodly number of visitors boarded her. Amongst the visitors were J. A. dos Remedios, Esq, agent for the steamer, R. Cook, Esq., Sec. Dock Co., Capt. Burnie, H. Williams, Esq., Govt. Surveyor, Messrs. Spratt Liddell, Scott Kirkwood, &c., &c. A start was then made and she progceded under easy steam until outside Green Island, when a course was shaped past Llama Island, and the vessel's speed tested by the patent Taffrail log, which indicated fully to knots, the engines working smoothly and well. The average pressure of steam was 7olbs. vacuum 26 inches, revolutions 88 per minute, which may be considered very satisfactory. The vessel was then headed back to the harbour. During the return, journey the health of the owner was proposed by Mr. Liddell In a few racy words. Mr. Fife, i responding, said he saw around him many gentlemen whose actuaintance he had made on his first arrival

rent contributed 138 (thirteen and nine spoi) in faultless style. Coole in his next effort completed 19 Roberts only added 39 when he failed at his ninth spot, and shortly the game was called Cook 2722, Rabens 131. The latter contri- buted a break amounting to 172, causing the game to be called--Cook 2722, against Roberts 1484. Cook gained applause as from 2736 he advanced to 2877 then having put the red in thirty-four successive times." The interval was announced at twenty-five minutes to eleven, the full game being-Cook 2877 to Roberts 1544, with the former still in position behind the spot.

Four more spots were scored, velice Cook lost position, but he was back on the line again at ago, and continued in possession until he had reached 1939, when he was again compelled to go for a loser, Having MANUFACTURER OF accomplished this be utilised the object halls until he regained his favourite position, and he had just landed safely with his fourth thou sand, when the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Lord Roselety, the Duke of Beaufort, and shook hands with Cook passing to his seat at several other gentlemen, arrived. The Prince the top end of the rpom. Cook continued to play in-his-very-best.form, but finally came to grief at a delicateloser" when he had made 279, and 3019 against increased his aggregate total, to 1556. The grue then went to-Cook jo94, 1 S against Roberts 1610. From this point the latter worked his way to 1729 by generally fine play, and at last concluded the magnificent break of Cook 3004. He set to work again with his very 653, which left his aggregate total 2263.against next innings, and sided by a sequence of a hundressed to The Factory, dred and twenty-nine spot strokes carried his figures to 2658 with a grand break of 395, and thus in two consecutive attempts he increased his total by the immense number of to78 paints, and the game, of course, assumed an altogether diffe rent aspect, there being an offer at about this juncture in the proceedings to take two "mon- keys" about naming the winner. Same in-
effectual efforts on either side followed, then Roberts from 2660 made 241 off the ball, and gave a miss in baulk, the game now being Cook 3036, Roberts 2801, With minor breaks from each player the game was announced Cook 3184, Roberts 2927, when the former in- faultless style mandle 149, and this break included an extraordinary series of twenty-five consecutive screw-back spot strokes. Play for the night ceased, the tire being a few minutes to one, and the game standing-Roberts.2927, Cook 3358.

Roberts recommenced operations, with on the ocean," he had always found his friends strictly, honest and true gentlemen, and consider ed, after all, that honesty was the best policy, and as he started lie on that rule he intended continu ing the same to the end of the clippter. The gal- lant captain's health was then proposed by Mr. Spratt, with three times three and a tiger," and duly responded to, as was also the health of Mr. Croker, who has had the superintending of the whole of the work.

The Union was the next toast, which was greeted with loud cheers; hearty laughter ensued when the ubiquitous manager of the Kowloon Dock he had proposed it) explained that he didn't mean the Union of the stars and stripes, it was only the Union of the Docks he was happy over. A good many Deouch-and-Decuruchs were partaken off before the last of the guests left. Peddars Wharf was reached about 7 pm. when the visitors took their departure, bringing a very enjoyable trip to a close.
The steamer returned to. Kowloon to finish a few odds and ends and painting,

On Thursday play was resumed at a quarter out, however, improving his score, as he just missed a "push" cannon. Cook was more suc cessful at his opening attempt, which realised 76. Very careful play now became the order of the hour; but while Roberts had been making 39 only Cook had made 263. Roberts only added 4 to his total before his opponent was again busy, and assisted by bfcen consecutive red winners ran up another break of 109, and reached 3,710 against 2,970, from which latter point Roberts scored 70. Cook latter on male a grand break of 207, in which were runs of ten, ine, filleen, and eighteen spots, and in the course of this fine performance several bets of 100 to 10 were betted upon his ultimate success. When, however, he broke down, and the balls were left, favoumbly disposed for his opponent, Roberts affered to take seven monkeys or any part of it without re sponse. Evkciently on his mettle, he now put together a good sequence of thirty-seven reds in a break of 124, which at his next attempt he capped by an additional three, so that the two breasts amounted in all to 251, his fine execution
frequently eliciting loud applause. Nothing fur- ther of note occurred until the game stood Cook 417 against 3390, when Roberts worked his way up to the spot, and made thirty conse- cutive hazards in a break of 199, · Cook then

Mr. MOORE begs to recommend his GOGO SHAMPOO WASH
to the public as unrivalled by any prepara tion ever produced for promoting the growth of the hair. The basis of this "compound is made of soap root; the natives of the Philip pine Islands never use anything else for washing their hair; they are never found bald, and it is quite common to see the females with hair from 5 to 6 feet long. By constantly using this Shampoo Wash as directed, you will NEVER DE BALD. The proprietor offers the Wash to the public: entirely confident that by its restorative pro pertics it will without fail arrest hair. It completely eradicates sc and cures all diseases of the scalp. It does not contain any poisonous drugs. By its cooling properties it allays the itching and fever of the scalp, which is the great cause of people losing their hair.
Mr. MOORE has succeeded in being able to put this wash up in bottles without allowing it to ferment, and he will guarantee it to keep any [315. length of time in any climate.
