The second jump is merely a raised wall which pre. sents no difficulty. In olden days there appears to have been a capital fence facing the Derby starting post, which could be renewed with very little trouble, and between this and the village there are two more which can easily be placed in order. The going at this side of the course, al- though a bit heavy, is splendid for steeplechasing. There is a narrow trench about a foot wide which must be filled in, and in one or two places, which might be drained in another year, a few baskets of soil and manure will make it quite safe. The old water jump, a very ugly ditch with a slight drop, stands at the quarter mile
post. This is the most difficult obstacle on the THEY INCLUDE CHROMO LITHOGRAPHS course to deal with, both the take-off and land *ing place being very unsatisfactory. A low wall or hurdle must be placed in front, and the land ing cut down, levelled, and made safe. For

Owners are indebted to Mr. Tripp for the very useful innovation he has introduced by placing distance, posts on the training track. This improvement has been suggested often enough in past years, but I suppose former Clerks of the Course could not see their way to going out of the beaten track without orders from the Stewards, and that the Stewards did not consider the subject worthy of attention. Mr. Tripp's measurements have upset ail our old nations as to the various starting posts on the training course.

King Kalakaua, we under stand, has sent to the Insetsu-Kiyoku an order for about a raile of that leather-like wall paper which Trà does not disdain to advertize in its editorial columns. Apparently, howeven His Majesty is not up to the mysteries of uphol stering, for though he forwarded, with his order, a very carefully drawn plan of the palace to be papered, he forgot to say which room is which, and since the paper has to be in its place before the coronation ceremony next April, the good people at the Insetsu-Kiyoku have nothing for it but to be guided by their instincts. However, Japanese instincts are generally pretty correct in these matters, and so we hope for the best.
Manhoa, which the French wish to make the navigation limit, as well as a considerable portion of the river below, is within the Chinese frontler. The present peaceful condition of China and fts action of lato years on the Russian borders makes it apparent that the French are not un- likely to find themselves in an awkward dilemma. It must be remembered that the Yunnanese soldiery is very superior to that of the Plains, both in physique and fighting qualities, and that Yunnan is the finest recruiting ground in China. The mass of men put into the field during the late Mahomedan rebellion proves thatthe Chinese, though slow to move, are at times formidable and determined enemies.
