Hon. Secretary, V. R. C. DEAR SIR,- Having read the accompanying letter from Mr. John Andrew containing his decision as umpire ve Mondays race, I beg to protest against his decision being placed on record, as his reason for arriving at the same would, I believe, if referred to any unbiased person either with, or without, s knowledge of bont-racing laws, be quite sufficient to throw out Mr. Lockhart's claim and to rub stantiate mine. The reason given by him for coming tosuch a decision (as I understand from his letter), is that the passage between the gunboats the line of barges would not admit of more than two boats rowing abreast, and that owing to the fact that at the Alacrity, the passage waE further reduced in width by a gig lying astern my boat, which as he himself states was at this paint leading by about three quarters of a length, was run into by Mr. Lockhart's boat, whereupon Mr. Lockhart claimed the race, which claim the umpire sipholds.

I take exception also to the statement made by the umpire that "after the foul both boats paddled home," conveying thereby that the race was practically given up. For my part, my boat was rewed home and bad it not been that the other boat's rudder had received dam she was being showed across my boat's "bow in clearing from the foul, there would have been

It cropped up first in connection with the" Audience of 1873. The Ministers were deceived then, and seemed to be led into a trap, but the public were never deressed; and it is deserving of remark that looking back over the last fifty years of foreign dealings with China, the public and the press have usually taken the sound view of all these grept international questions, the view that has been justified by events. The selection of the Tau-Kuang Ko as the place of Audience of His Majesty Tung- chib in 1873 was freely commented on in the press some time before that, Audience took place.

The present, says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, is manifestly the age of dialect.

The story writers have *** ransacked the logging camps of Maine and the negro quarters of Mississippi, the shanties of Arkansas and the cabins of the Canadian fron. tier for specimens of dialect and patois, with varying success, for dialect is a tool which is not fitted in every handle, and the result is often more ridiculous than instructive or amusing.
In California they have an alien race, the Chinese, whose struggles with the English language would seem to prestat a fertile field to the student of dialect, but thus far, with the exception of a few local newspaper men, the Chinese version of their verancular has not been mastered by any writer, On the contrary, many who have attempted it have made signal and to some mistakes which no one who ever failures, due to sheer ignorance of their subject beard a Chinaman talle English ought to make.

But they are as indoubtedly great, and we have, according to our foreign representative ought to feel in lowering nothing compared with the difficulty which a the dignity of his own country. Wherever the bridge may be sought for to connect the two incompatibilkies surely it must never be found in the submission, at once unnatural and insincere, of the strong nation to the weaker. It was not the business of foreign states to provide Any solation of the difficulties of the Chinese incompatible with the etiquette of civilised Government, and if its pretensions be really sations all that need be said is, tant pis pour le government. Foreigners could have waited for ten, twenty, or fifty years, or until people's eyes. An audience of the Chinese the next war cleared away the cobwebs from Emperor was no such urgent desideratum to them; it was, in fact, of so practical value, whatever, and not worth the most trivial concession on any point of international courtray. It was China alone that began to feel the need of placing ber diplomatic relations on a more legitimate footing, and whatever sacrifice might be necessary to attain the object it was for China herself to make it, either now, or whenever she imagined she could afford It. As has oftestion of the same word. happened before, however, the weaker party by dint of persistent asseveration, has gained the momentary advantage, albeit to the permanent disadvantage of 'all, especially to China herself No special public interest is to be served by singing out individual Ministers in matters of this kind where all are equally concerned.
