(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
Amoy, 8th May, 1889. N. M. S. Leander arrived on the 6th from your port.
The "Black Rats" Chrisly Minstrel troupe of H.M S. Rattler gave a performance in the Club theatre on Monday night to a crowded bouse. Considering that this was their first appearance on the stage the performance passed off very creditably, and, no doubt with a little practice the painful shyness which they exhibited will pass off.
The Rattler leaves this port to-morrow after a lengthened stay, carrying the good wishes of the community. The crew of this vessel of war can show an example to the remainder of the Fleet, for general good conduct; although the men have been ashore nearly every day, besides having general leave, sobriety was the rule, dronkenness the exception. So far as is known only three or four cases of drunkenness happened on shore..
Chiarini's Circus is still with us, giving two performances daily, to rather poor houses, owing no doubt to their having no band. A Circus without a band is like a horse without a rider,
SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR IN BANGKOK.
Į
We take the following from the Bangkok Times of the 27th ultimo -
The most serious result of a rupture among the foreign residents which has had to be recorded in Bangkok for many years, took place on the afternoon of the 25th April at the New Oriental Hotel. In several late issues we have had to mention the doings of an engineer named F. A. Hitchcock, whose actions of late have been the talk of the place. The greatest of his misdeeds, as far as we know, was attempted to be performed yesterday. The facts, as far as we can learn, are as follows. Some lime ago, action was brought, by the proprietors of the Oriental Hotel, against Hitchcock for the amount of his bill, after Hitchcock had been thrown out of the Hotel, for cause. Judgment was given for the plaintiffs, and the bill with costs ordered to be paid into the British Lega- tion. On Thursday last, at about 2.30 pm. Hitchcock presented himself at the Hotel- although he had been forbidden to go there by the proprietors, and also by the British repre- sentative, and insisted on settling the bill there, so he said. Mr. P. Andersen told him that he was astonished, to see him at the Hotel, after the emphatic orders he had received not to go there at all. Hitchcock said he would pay the bill there, and went to the bar, as if to do so. Mr. Andersen told him he could not receive it ...as it must be paid into the Legation, as ordered, and warned him of what might occur to him if his partner saw him there. After some further words Hitchcock reached over the bar, and with his stick tried to strike Andersen. The latter seized the stick, and hit Hitchcock with it once, and threw it at his feet. Hitchcock drew back, end patting his hand into his pocket drew a revolver, and proceeded to take a deliberate alm.

began to draw away again, and as Northmore commenced the shoot for the Surfey shore it was seen that fully three-parts of a length separated them. The time to the Old Mile Tree was four minutes fifeen seconds, and here Gardiner was rowing thirty-six while Holland had dropped down to thirty-five. It was apparent at this part of the race that Oxford's exertions to keep their place had told upon them, and in going through the rough water with a cross wind their form became very ragged. The splashing on the bow side was especially apparent, and the men were feathering wretchedly. Under the shelter of the southern bank Cambridge went away fast, and there was a gap between the hoals at the Soap works that was increased to half a length going under Hammersmith-bridge. Cambridge rowed under, at thirty-five to the minute, in seven minutes forty seconds, while Oxford, rowing Ave seconds later. the same rate, were
the cheering from the Encouraged by Suspension-bridge,. Cambridge, still rowing in splendid time, though now at thirty- five, added to their advantage, and Oxford, slackening down to thirty-three, were two full lengthy behind opposite Biffen's and were falling still further in the rear, as Lonsdale, unwisely taking the track of the Cambridge boat, gave his crew their rivals back-wash to go through. At Chiswick Church, Cambridge, still going splendidly in the rough water, led by over three lengths, Gardiner still setting his fol- lowers thirty-tix, and Holland at this time row- ing thirty-five. Crossing once more for the. Middlesex-ahore on coming to the Duke's Meadows, the leaders took a "breather," and Oxford, in turn served by the station, decicased the leading crew's advantage by a length, and momentarily raised their supporters' hopes. The spectators on board their steamer raised an encouraging cheer, and Holland spurted desper ately. His crew, however, only picked up his stroke spasmodically, the bow man being chiefly in fault. Along the meadows, too, Northmore' steered Cambridge very cleverly, keeping Oxford well under the bank, and out of the tide. As according to the conditions, both boats had to go under the centre arch of Barnes, Northmore on coming out was enabled to give the others the Cambridge wash again. The Cambridge men led under the Barnes-bridge, amidst great cheering, by three lengths, in sixteen minutes forty-one seconds, while Oxford, who nearly collided with the buttress, in trying to take closely, were sixteen minutes fifty-three seconds in reaching it. From this point, of course, the race was as good as over; Gardiner saw that he had it in band, and did not unneces sarily distress his men, so keeping a long steady stroke of thirty-four to the minute, he contented himself with his three lengths' lead, all the crew keeping their farm beautifully in the rough water: Holland made another spurt to thirty- six, but his crew were thoroughly exhausted, and they soon slowed down again, and even tually Cansbridge rowed past the winning post with rather less than a three lengths lead, their full time on the fast running food being twenty minutes fourteen 'seconds, while Oxford, easing up, occupied twenty seconds, From both sides of the river theNFORMATION has been received from cheering was enthusiastic and general at the Cambridge victory, which was, undoubtedly, a most popular one.-L. & C.
