Mr. F. Greenwood writes on the above subject to the London Times—
Supposing it to be true that Prince Bismarck proporca to engage this country in a joint crusade against the slave-hunters and slave-dealers of Central Africa, and supposing this to mean that we are to combine with the Germans and Italians in sending forth armed expeditions to raid upon the raiders, I hope Lord Salisbury will take your advice and decline the invitation.

Perhaps it was the male attire, and especially the "lights," that proved a paralyser Miss Morrison's voice is not well adapted for "Alas those chimes," but she nevertheless warbled with much taste and feeling.

Now, any movement of that sort mu t'of course be dealt with, but not necessarily in the German way. Before we accept Prince Bismarck's invitation to enter upon a rifle and rocket campaign in Central Africa, we ought to ask ourselves whether it would not be better to refrain from the use of explosives in thin case, and steadily proceed to justify the Arab slavedealers; squeezing them out of existence by commercial methods. Or should it he decided that nothing but a'sharp and general administration of the sword will suffice, even then I should say that it would be wise to decline all invitation to joint action, Joint military enterprise should rarely be ven- tured on by any Government which is not assured beforehand of possessing a distinct superiority in strength and in lack of scruple. Besides, in this the way. The troubles of the German Govern case there is a special and particular objection in

TO THE EDITOR or the "Hongkong TelfaraPH." SIR-Would you kindly allow me space for a few words more anent the Regatta Deadlock? I have no desire to enter into any further argu. ment with "An Old Sportsman," seeing that that gentleman rides roughshod over all logic (with or without intent is, of course, impossible for me to say) and only confines himself to meaningless animadversions against these "cussed" foreigners in general and against myself in particular. It is generally those who have got the weakest case who, as a last resort, adopt such forcible language, and "An Old Sportsman" may rest assured that he has not succeeded in strengthening the cause for which he is an advocate by the pre-for trade in Africa Germany must begin by T sumptive terms he employs in his last.
fighting the people in her own quarter of the The Mayblossom cannot stand for the logies! | continent, she may naturally wish to do so with deduction "better, worse or equal," as we neither wish to row with a disadvantage or with an advantage. In case of equality then the Club owns quite a officient number of boats to accommodate everybody, without calling in the aid of the Mayblossom. Our unwillingness to row with
advantage (if she be worse) is sure to be characterized by "An Old Sportsman "as senti. mentality; but we cannot help that. Our ideas of fairness in sport extend beyond the narrow -limits of self-interest.
the countenance of her competitors; while if she can contrive to engage them in a similar business all round, so much the better. Not only may present convenience be served thereby, but future profit may accrue.
A very pretty sermon might be preached on the sudden but not inexplicable discovery by the German Government that religion and humanity demand the extirpation of the slave trade, even by fire and by the sword. But the sermon may be spared. It is enough to say, perhaps, that whether the German awakening be sincere or not, nobody will suspect England of hating slavery and the slave trade less if she choose to fight against them in her own way, which the Germans are, of course, more than welcome to imitate, even to.excess. But we must bave no joint crusading at present.
PLAIN ENGLISH.
THE UNIONS VARSUS ¡HE BLACKLEGS.
In conclusion I would only remark that, "An Old Sportsman's" advice about our withdrawal comes rather part festum. As soon as we got an inkling of the rumour that the Mayblossom was intended to be used in the forthcoming Regatta, we made inquiries at once, and learning the rumour was true we informed the Committee of our withdrawal. Our letter on the subject to the Committee was sent to them on Saturday the txt inst., and ends (after enumerating the with drawal of nineteen crews) in these terms - We think it only fair that the Committee should be acquainted with these eventualities (the with. drawal of nineteen crews) so as to enable them 10 make arrangements for substitutes in races where there will only be two boals left. At the same time we would feel obliged by a prompt population all over Australia, raises the sarne and definite answer (whether the Mayblossom fierce and lugubrious howl over the "intimida- is going to be used or no) so as not to keep us in training looger then necessary,"
That we have been actuated by the fairest motives in this matter is conclusively proven by the above, in addition to the fact that we would on'y be too anxious to encourage other crews to row against the Mayblossom,only we ourselves have no desire to compete with her. I am, Sir,
Yours truly,
