observer that their great care was evidently to protect the shipowner from possible loss of one day's carnings.
Mr. Mackintosh asked for data regarding the number of officers employed on Sunday. Now think that no one is in a better position than himself to provide this Information seeing that the lines known as the "Blue Funnel "and "Butterfield & Swire's" his the great offenders In. this respect, however, in passing I might remark for Mr. Mackintosh's edification that there are on an average from fifty to sixty officers employed on steamers in this port on Sundays. Farther, I may add as regards compradores on board steamers, it in no wise effords the European officers greater liberty, as in steamers carrying compradores there are usually only two European officers carried, one of whom is expected to sign all receipts and superintend all necessary deck work, while the other is supposed to be below looking after the stowage of cargo.
The annual meeting of the Hongkong Jockey Club was held at the City Hall on Monday afternoon. There were present: Messrs. W. H. Forbes (Chairman). E. L Woodin, Grant, E. H. Gore-Booth, M. Grote, E. M. Rutter, G. S. Coxos, T. I. Rose, A. Karberg, W. Goosmann, A. G. Morris, J. Machado, J. Lewis. H. Hoppius, D R. Sassoon, H. Hobake,, S. R. Lammert, L Mendel, G. H. Potts, C. Hurst. W.

Gourdin, R. K. Leigh,"stop Sunday labour." O. Wegener, &c.
The Chairman proposed the adoption of the report and accounts.
Mr. Gourdin seconded, and the motion was carried.
A ballot was then taken for the election of stewards for the ensuing season, with the result that the following gentlemen were slected :---- Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. J. Keswick, Hpn. C. P. Chater, Messrs. G. S. Coxon, W. H. Forbes, J. Grant, R. M. Gray, M. Grote, and H. Hoppius.
Mr. Maitland said he had a motion to bring forward. It had been suggested to him that ar alteration should be 'made in br-law No. 6. At present it read "All horses and ponies must be ibe bona fide property of those who enter them and no one shall be allowed to ride unless a member of the Hongkong Jockey Club." He suggested that it be amended to read "No one shall be allowed to ride except members of the Hongkong Jockey Club, officers of the Army and Navy, and visitors approved by the stewards."
Mr. Danby seconded, and it was agreed to unanamously.
A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and the Clerk of the Course the meet- Ing clored.
WRECK OF A FACHT IN THE CAROLINES.
Mr. Mackintosh seems anxious to discover same method by which the Sunday labour of officers might be minimised. This is simple,
As regards Mr. Keswick's statement of the strong objections of the Chinese tothelaw, I should ilke to know in what way these strong objections .have been shown. I have heard of no action on the part of the Chinese in opposition to the proposed legislation on Sonday labour, With respect to his statement of the danger of making 150,000 Chinese idle on Sunday, I think the numbers" stated very ridiculous, and I am quite satisfied that not more than 15,000 people would be affected by the cessation of Sunday labour in the harbour. With respect to Sunday labour in treaty ports I can say that the British are the greatest sinners. And if I condescended to specialize local lines I have no hesitation in naming the China Navigation Steamship Com. pany and the Indo-Chine Steamship Company as the greatest offenders in this respect. Ships salled under the Chinese flag compare most favourably in respect to Sunday observance. I have no doubt the 1. M. Customs statisties would prove what is here stated."
My iympathies are with old Ryrie" in bis auxiety with respect to hot Sunday dinner.. But as I understand the question, the Mercantile Marine Officer's Association are asking for "cessation of Sunday labour in the Harbour only,"

LONDON, September 28th. Belag asked to account for his defeat, Bruiser McAuliffe answered, shaking his head sadly. "I 'can't account for it at all, except that Slavin was mart enough to pul me to sleep. I have been fairly beaten, and there's an end of it all."
"I'll tell you how it happened," spoke up. Billy Madden. "The fight was a terrific one from the very outset. Both men went in for slogging for all they were worth, and either man was able to be knocked out at any moment if one of those terrible blows happened to strike the right place. That, unfortunately, is what happened to my man. If he had avoided Slavin's blow on his law it is quite possible that he himself would have knocked Slavin out the next moment. In any case it is inconceivable that such terrific fighting could last more than a very few rounds."
Midden thinks that if McAuliffe had fought in the second round as he did in the first he would have knacked Slavin out.
Richard K. Fox said there, was no doubt that Slavin was the best man. Fox is ready to back Sullivan against Slavic for $25,000.

Next day some Spanish bosts came up, and a few things were got out, but the boats went away at dark, as the Spanish authorities who were at that time, making reprisals on the natives for the massacre of some soldiers-feared that it would be unsafe to remain over night. For three days attempts were made to get the yacht off, but as each succeeding tide drove her higher and dryer the efforts were unsuccessful. Each night the natives plundered the vessel in crowds, destroying what they could not remove, cutting the sails and tearing down the bulk-headi and Attings, bat offering no violence to the Europeans, although on the second sight they bad to be shelled from one of the Spanish government boats before the latter ventured near.
