LOCAL PHARISEEISM,
WOULD it not have been just as well for our morning contemporary to have made some inquiry before publishing the paragraph in its issue of yesterday (27th inst.), in which, on the mere ipse dixit of an anonymous correspondent, "a female of a certain class” is accused of having taken the lead at the Race-course in what is described "a most indecent and revolting spectacle "I Considering the very grave nature of the charge, and in view of the fact that the attention of the police is specially directed to the alleged offence, we consider that the Daily Press has laid itself, open to severe censure. As. to the "Correspondent," if he is a man with the slightest pretensions to be ranked as a gentleman, he will at once, above his own name, give particulars to the community of Hongkong of this "most indecent and revolting spectacle," which he says he witnessed at the Race- course. The credit of the colony is at stake in a matter of this sort; if "indecent and revolting spectacles" are exhibited by women in public places in open daylight, it is high time that the police authorities took active steps to put down such disgraceful scandals. But is this correspondent's serious accusation true? We are assured that it is not, and the inquiries we have made strengthen that assurance.
It appears that on Friday evening last
a new arrival in the town-described as a female of a certain class "In the Daily Press-committed the great enormity of indulging in a few waltz steps with a certain male person at the Race-course, believing that their imprompta practice for the winter dances now in full swing was only witnessed by their personal friends. The Daily Press correspondent does not even mention the male person, so we don't know to what class bo may belong, but it is long odds that the pro- posal to waltz came from the gentleman and not from the lady. Of course, considering the strictly moral atmosphere which has ever enveloped the Hongkong Racecourse, it was very wrong of the Jately arrived young female to fancy herself in San Francisco, and under that erroneous impression commit such an enormity as to waltz in open daylight with a gentleman-who, at least, certainly ought to have known better; but we very gravely doubt, whether such perfectly. Innocent recreation, no matter how bad the taste displayed by both these disciples of TERPSICHORE, can be fairly described as "a most indecent and revolting spectacle." Where does the indecency come in, and what can there passibly be révolting in woman dancing a few waltz steps with a man even on the Race-course? Has this the highly moral correspondent of our morning contemporary ever been at a picnic with women of his own class in Hongkong? If he has, we are quite sure that waltzing formed part of the day's programme, and it would therefore be

We have heard many inquiries lately whether Chief Justice Sir James Russell intends resuming his duties in this colony-and if so, when? The learned Judge obtained six months leave of absence, in addition to two months' vacation leave, on the 16th of last April, and, so far as the public here are concerned, who are the persons most materially interested-nothing has been heard of him since. As over nine months have elapsed since his Honour vacated his seat in favor of Mr. Fielding Clarke, the taxpayers of Hongkong are not unreasonable in wanting to know how much longer the Chief Justiceship is likely to remalo an acting appointment.
On the agth ins', shortly after midnight, a fire broke out in a shop in, Lyndhurst Terrace, known as the Fashion Emporium, belonging to Mr.J. Gomes. The proprietor saidthat he left no light in the shop when he went out, two or three hours before, and yet, in a few minutes from the outbiesk being discovered, the whole of the shop was blazing fiercely. Some Japanese girls, one or two Europeans, and a China-bay, wha lived above, had some difficulty in getting out, as the door was locked, and they had to scramble round the verandahs into the next house. The Brigade arrived prompity, and worked so well that in about twenty minutes the blaze was quite extinguished, the rooms above the shop being practically uninjured. The place was insured with the Hongkong Fire Insurance Co. for $10,000.
THE dinner given by the members of the Hong- kong C. C. in honour of the cricketers from the Straits Settlements was held in the St. George's Hall on Saturday night. His Excellency Governor Des Voeux, Major-General Edwards, Commodore Church, R.N., and a large number of Hongkong's leading residents assembled to do honour to our guests, the Hon. W. M. Deane, President of the Cricket Club, ably fulfilling the duties of Chairman. A very agreeable evening was passed, winding up with a smoking concert in St. Andrew's Hall which was bighly appreciated. The Cricketers' Ball at the City Hall last night also proved a grent success, passing off without a single hitch. Although our Singapore visitors may not have met with the success they anticipated on *the tented field and in the rowing contests, we feel assured that one and all of them will acknow. ledge that the Hongkong Cricket Club and the community generally have done all in their power to make this historical visit an enjoyable holiday.

The Rev. Dr. Mitchell was then called on. He expressed his sense of the privilage it was for him to be present at this meeting. He had known for many years of the work of this Medical Mission Society and felt a special interest in the same, at the Board of Missions which he represented was a partner in the sacred business carried on by the Society. For a large part of the time under Dr. Kerr's management the gradu i evolution of this work was simply wonder il, and one can but exclaim "what bath God wrought" There are no dry statistics of this work, even though the good accomplished cannot be tabulated.

The Chairman stated that we had with us two gentlemen who were very much interested in this Society. Dr. D. J. McGowan, ang of the oldest foreign residents in China, formerly connected with this Society, and who had done many years of Medical Missionary work in Ningpo, and the Rev. Dr. Mitchell, one of the Secreta ies of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, who was especially interested in the Society, because the physicians working under it were supported by tha Beard of Missions which
ho represented. The Chairman said he was glad to see so many gentlemen present on this occasion, and he was sure they would all be pleased to hear a word of encouragement from Dr. McGowan and the Rev. Dr. Mitchell,
And the Board of Missions which he represents A partnership may be said to exist in this great and benevolent work. In taking a glance at this partnership we find that your society contri butes for the exornses of the work in the Canton Hospital about $3 300, while the Presbyterian Board contributes the same amount for the sup- port of the physicians. But your society has work in other parts of this province, and this work is conducted for the most pas by Medical
